Blackwood Walk of Reconciliation
Last Sunday, Blackwood Uniting co-hosted with the Blackwood Reconciliation Group (BRG) a significant and well-enjoyed recognition of “Reconciliation Sunday”.
After a worship in which Aboriginal people including students from Westminster School shared stories and the music of didgeridoo, about 100 people from all manner of community groups joined us in a walk to the former Colebrook Home Site.
There further sharing of stories from Allen Edwards, whose Mother was taken to Colebrook from the West Coast aged 2 days, and Aboriginal Leader Lowitja O’Donohue, herself one of the Colebrook Tjitji Tjuta, “little children”.
Thanks to all who shared in this wonderful statement of what is important to us as a community of faith and service.
