Uniting Church unveils new moderator

The Uniting Church Synod of Victoria and Tasmania has installed its new moderator at
a special meeting in Melbourne.
Isabel Dobson was officially handed the denomination's most senior position in front
of a congregation of about 500 at the Wesley Church in Melbourne on Sunday.
A former teacher and political researcher for Tasmanian Liberal Senator John Watson,
Ms Dobson, from the regional Victorian city of Bendigo, becomes the third woman to
hold the top role.
She has challenged believers to "show love and care for the whole community and
creation, close by and far away".
Ms Dobson replaces the Reverend Jason Kioa, who has completed his three-year term.
