On Census night August 2011, 61.1% of Australians still identified as Christian, down just 2.8% from 2006. Australia's population was 21,507,717, an 8.3% increase. Females outnumbered males - 10,873,704 to 10,634,013 - and the median age was 37. One in four Australians were born overseas and 43.1% of people had at least one overseas-born parent. The leading birthplace for those who arrived since 2006 was India (13.1%), closely followed by the United Kingdom (12.1%). (source Family Voice Australia)
Although the figures are encouraging, there are still many things to look out for. We must aim to make the christian message available to the post-modern audience we now face.
