Reconciliation Sunday! Jane Kelly joined us from Common Grace to speak about their important work pursuing justice so that all people can grow and flourish, and ways that we can walk side by side, to listen deeply, and honour people and Country. The pop-up choir sang "Beds are Burning" for Reconciliation Australia with some welcome participation from the congregation. May we be people who bring healing, seek justice, and nurture restored relationships.

On National Sorry Day, we honour the strength, truth and lived experiences of Stolen Generations survivors and their families.
Saying sorry matters. It acknowledges truth and signals compassion.
But sorry without action is not enough.

Since the 'Bringing Them Home' report was delivered 30 years ago, only five of its 83 recommendations to address the harm caused under these past government policies have been fully implemented.

Real change demands leadership, accountability and urgency. We must act now to meet the outstanding needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Stolen Generations survivors and their families. We must turn sorry into action.

It's budget time! Things might be tough, but we can't turn our back on the poorest and most vulnerable people. UnitingWorld reminds us that Australian aid transforms so many lives and communities.

Uniting Church leaders have joined the Micah Australia campaign to defend Australian Aid from budget cuts.
📸 In Brisbane a few weeks ago: Rev Catherine Solomon (South Moreton Presbytery Minister), Mardi Lumsden (UnitingWorld), Jenny Guyatt (UnitingWorld/Beenleigh Uniting Church), Rev Di Bos (Ipswich Uniting Church) and Hollie Bailey (Community Life Uniting Church).

Did you know that the Uniting Church in Australia has deep ties across the Pacific? The Pacific Church Leaders meeting in Suva addressed the climate crisis last week by meeting in a Fijian community already facing rising seas. Local voices shared how land is disappearing, food sources are changing, and everyday life is being reshaped by this sharp, lived reality.
For the Church, this is our calling—to stand with our Pacific neighbours, listening deeply, acting justly, and responding with courage in the face of the climate crisis, as part of God’s restoring work in a changing world.
Rev Alimoni Taumoepeau (Team Leader Intercultural Ministry and Climate Action for the NSW/ACT Synod, and familiar to our congregation for his work with Sydney Alliance) was there, highlighting the experiences of seasonal and palm workers—reminding leaders that climate, labour, and justice are deeply interconnected across the Pacific.
Uniting Church President Rev Charissa Suli addressed the gathering, reminding listeners in an area facing rising seas, migration and deep social challenges, that “Jesus meets us where we are. He walks with us… and reconnects us with God’s story.”
