Newsletter History

In the 1980's an update of the activities in the various RCI Assemblies arround the world was sent out to all pastors. This foolscap report, stapled at the top, was issued from Sydney and posted out on an ad hoc basis.

In 1991, with encouragement from Pastor Lloyd Longfield, a move was made to upgrade the news on a more formal basis by way of an A3 sized magazine. This also originated in Sydney, headed up by Brian Love. The magazine updated the developments and news from around the world assemblies and was issued four times a year, mainly to the pastors.

Brian moved to Ashburton, New Zealand in 1993 and passed the mantle of editor to John Moore, with his wife Wendy acting as secretary. The magazine initially followed the format originally set out until 1994 when local and overseas developments resulted in change to the Newsletter. The magazine then dipped its toe into the colour photo field. It soon became clear that this certainly enhanced the Newsletter so it slowly evolved into a twice-yearly issue, February and July of each year - the first catching Christmas camps and the second following up on Easter camps and the Melbourne Rally.

More colour photos were included and for some years Pastor Graeme McKinstry of Dunedin, New Zealand used his desktop publishing skills to undertake the production side of the newsletter.

As many saints have visited or met with other members of the church at some time or another, the Newsletter gives them the opportunity to "catch up" with friends elsewhere - in other words it is a "news letter".

Newsletter Now

In 2006 the newsletter moved online - and is now produced as a "News" section on the front page of this website. Articles are contributed directly to the site from RCI News Editors from around the world.
