Acknowledgement of Country
We at Churches of Christ acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands on which we stand
and pay our respects to the Elders, past, present and emerging for they hold the memories,
traditions, cultures, hopes and aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Further, we acknowledge the grief and loss Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have
endured from the harm caused by invasion and colonisation over the last 200 plus years resulting
in historical, cultural and
intergenerational trauma.
We at Churches of Christ also recognise, respect and celebrate the survival and resilience of
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people including recognition of those whose ongoing effort
to protect and promote the world’s oldest living culture will leave a lasting and proud legacy
for their people.
We stand with you in solidarity now and always.
