They were previously known as Evangelical Ministers of the UCA . EMU espouses Evangelicalism Evangelical views and is an example of the Confessing Movement . They are strongest in South Australia where Methodism was the strongest strand coming into the UCA. EMU has gained prominence as a result of their opposition to gay ordination in the lead up to the 1997 Assembly.
