Restorative Justice: Principles Victoria

How does the gospel call us to respond to a society largely committed to retribution?


Restorative Justice operates on principles of truth-telling, accepting responsibility and grace. In many ways it's about establishing a mindset which in turn creates an environment where wholeness for individuals and communities is a real possibility.

Our forums this year are double-edged. Some important topics will be explored; all from the perspective of how they demonstrate a commitment to Restorative Justice.

These events are open to anyone. They represent opportunities for listening, discussing and acting. Through these forums the Commission for Mission is attempting to work with the UCA community by stimulating interest and involvement in a range of themes. These themes have been identified as important to the missional life of the church.

Come along and become part of  Mission now....

The events below are being held at a number of venues around Victoria. Information regarding these events is being distributed electronically and via this website. Events for Tasmania are being planned in consultation with the Presbytery and will be distributed electronically when available.
