This year the Uniting Church marks two significant anniversaries in our church’s journey seeking justice and healing as First and Second Peoples in this land.
On 10 July 2024, the Uniting Church will mark 30 years since the signing of the Covenant statement between the United Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress (UAICC) and the Uniting Church in Australia (UCA). The anniversary marks an historic moment in the UCA’s journey of what it means to live as the body of Christ in these lands we now call Australia.
