FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The Methodist church in NSW has celebrated its bicentennial anniversary with a march through central Sydney and a service in the State Theatre.
The Salvation Army marching band rang out on Sunday as about 600 people joined in the walk down Pitt Street, starting at Martin Place and ending at the State Theatre.
Patrons in the packed theatre saw stage plays telling the story of the church’s early days in Australia, video presentations about the church’s work and heard addresses from NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell, federal Health Minister Tanya Plibersek and various church luminaries.
Mr O’Farrell, a Catholic, said while church and state were separated in Australian society, both played an integral role in the settlement of NSW including the pioneering of public eduction.
“We partner with institutions and organisations like the Wesley mission to get on and do our work,” he said.
Mr O’Farrell said the church had an important role in society, assisting people where the government could not.
“I’m not one who believes government can meet the needs of everyone, I’m not one that believes that government should work in isolation” he said.
“Collaboration and partnership are important.”
Ms Plibersek paid tribute to the vast range of work the church had done over it’s 200 years in Australia.
“From its earliest days, Wesley mission has adapted to changing social needs,” she said.
“Its mission, service to the disadvantaged, has never changed.
“It did not turn its back on some of the most difficult clients.”
