Bishop Arthur Malcolm First Nations’ Bishops’ Endowment Fund
This Endowment Fund will provide long-term resources to support the ministry of National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Bishops.
The Anglican Board of Mission is honoured to support the establishment of the Bishop Arthur Malcolm First Nations’ Bishops’ Endowment Fund—a visionary initiative to strengthen and sustain First Nations leadership within the Anglican Church of Australia. This vision was first expressed by Bishop Malcolm when he played a key role in establishing the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Anglican Council (NATSIAC) in 1992 – a body which continues to inform and guide the General Synod to this day.
This Endowment Fund will provide long-term resources to support the ministry of National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Bishops, ensuring they are equipped to nurture First Nations clergy, mentor emerging leaders, and advocate for justice and healing across the Church. It will also enable the Church to respond to the growing call for culturally grounded leadership and theological formation shaped by First Nations insight.
ABM invites individuals, parishes, and dioceses to contribute to this enduring legacy. Your support will help build a future where First Nations leadership is not only recognised but resourced—where the Church continues to grow as a place of belonging, truth-telling, and hope.
Together, we honour Bishop Arthur Malcolm’s vision and invest in a future led by First Nations wisdom, faith, and resilience.
Prayer
(written by Bishop Arthur Malcom, Australia’s first Aboriginal Bishop)
Lord God, bring us together as one,
reconciled with you and reconciled with each other.
You made us in your likeness,
you gave us your Son Jesus Christ.
He has given us forgiveness from sin.
Lord God, bring us together as one,
different in culture,
but given new life in Jesus Christ,
together as your body, your Church, your people.
Lord God, bring us together as one,
reconciled, healed, forgiven,
sharing you with others as you have called us to do.
In Jesus Christ, let us be together as one.
Amen.
