Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land on which we live, work, gather and worship, and we pay our respects to their elders past and present. We acknowledge that the Church throughout this Synod meets on land for which First Peoples have ongoing spiritual sovereignty and custodianship, and we commit ourselves to respecting Country and to working for a more just future together. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware this website may contain images, voices and/or videos of deceased people.
