Healing and Hope – Post Referendum
It is with sadness we note the impact of the Voice Referendum within the Uniting Church and wider community.
We acknowledge the hurt and disappointment that many people will be feeling at this time, and we continue to pray for all, and for our Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress and all Indigenous communities across Australia.
We also acknowledge that members of our Indigenous community may be engaging in a period of silence as Aboriginal communities need time to heal and reflect.
We call on the Spirit to be with us at this difficult time as we work towards hope and healing, and we ask for kindness in conversations going forward.
