Vaulting Ambition
My Life and Times
Vaulting Ambition is the life story of Robin, an 86 year old retired Uniting Church minister and the father of six children. He served in a variety of places and different environments in Australia. He explains why he wrote Vaulting Ambition in his preface to the book. The period from the mid-1930s to the mid- 2020s has seen many changes. Robin has been a keen observer of the culture of the communities in which he has lived and worked and experimented with ways of caring for them. The marginalisation of the church is a particular concern. This makes Vaulting Ambition a companion piece to his book, Who Cares? that sets out ways of dealing with this issue."I want to recount my life in terms of the 'vaulting ambitions' that I have embraced, the social needs that prompted my engagement, th'other that prevailed at the end and the promise of ultimate success that fostered further ambition. I want it to reveal family traits that help my descendants understand themselves better, to recall aspects of everyday life that might help furnish social history with the bric-a-brac of everyday life and stimulate the 'vaulting ambitions' of future generations." Robin Trebilcock.

Trebilcock, Robin
Robin Trebilcock is a retired Uniting Church minister ordained into its Congregational branch in 1969. For over 50 years Robin has developed a discipline of pausing and reflecting on the impact of social change on congregations in varied contexts; regional, rural and both inner and outer urban settings where he served. Drawing on experience and experimentation, Robin has taken time to describe the wider social trends in Western Culture and the implications this has for the way congregations engage and adapt their local ministry practices. This legacy is both informative and challenging for those reading the signs of the times and discerning the implications this has for emerging patterns of ministry. By documenting and drawing on the more universal conversations taking place about ministry models he continues to highlight the implications this has for the future of churches in the neighbourhood.
