"National Reconciliation Week—27 May to 3 June—is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia," the website adds.

It is time for the Uniting Church to be the Uniting Church. I need our Church to continue to be brave, and to make more substantive change. It is also a testament to the resilience and courage of those who continue to stand up for the rights of Aboriginal peoples – those who respectfully demand recognition of unceded sovereignty, who seek a sovereign and self-determined place in this country, and who seek justice for the multitude of wrongs that Aboriginal peoples have endured, and continue to endure. Have our statements as a Church actually made a difference in the lives of the most disadvantaged in this country? It is important to acknowledge today that some positive steps have been made by the Uniting Church in Australia, particularly in statements of truth telling and commitment. We have survived, and continue to raise our voices for justice, and this is a testament to the bravery of those who came before us and who paved the way – often at great personal cost.
