What is “church”? A building used for worship? A community of believers that gather together on Sunday morning? Or something else entirely? Reverend Claire Wright believes she has experienced the essence of church – and it looks nothing like a Sunday service.

Rev Claire Wright is the Ministry Development Minister for the Uniting Church in the Manning Valley region – a region which underwent major flooding in 2021. She shared about the unique role of churches in helping communities rebuild after disaster.
