“Over the past few days I’ve been in touch with our Pastors and members on the Mid-North Coast to assess the situation in terms of our people and our buildings. At this point, none of our buildings have been impacted by flooding. Some towns and areas, particularly Taree and Wingham, have been isolated by flood waters, cutting them off from surrounding areas. The Green Cathedral has been inundated by water and will remain closed until those waters recede and the paths made safe. Many members and friends are impacted by this situation. Similarly, in the metropolitan and surrounding areas of Sydney we’ve seen similar vision of high flood waters, causing many to lose homes, pause businesses and be separated from their community.”
