Reconciliation

Work towards Reconciliation is an important manifestation of mission. ABM seeks to build platforms for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Anglicans to speak prophetically to the wider church. By listening to what Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are saying to the church today we have a chance to discern the call of God from the margins.

Your support for this project helps ABM to amplify the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Anglican leaders in the church and more broadly. It supports study guides, videos, retreats, conferences and work towards responding to the calls of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, especially the calls made in the Statement from the Heart at Uluru in 2017. It also supports work to make ABM’s historical records about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people more easily accessible, including by digitisation.

Project Prayer

The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. ​.
– Psalm 29.4

Almighty God,
all things were made when your creative voice spoke:
the universe with all its beauty came into being.

We give you thanks for the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Anglican leaders
and the opportunity to amplify their words
within the church and further afield.
We pray that their words of insight and understanding
may not fall on unreceptive ears.

We give you thanks for the chance to stimulate discussion,
especially through study guides, videos, retreats, and conferences,
hoping that those discussions bring about new ways of seeing things
and a greater desire to walk shoulder-to-shoulder into the future.

We pray that the long-held yearnings expressed
in the Statement from the Heart at Uluru
may come to fruition
in a Voice to the Federal Parliament.

We ask this through Christ our Redeemer.
Amen.

In 2023 we hope to raise for this project:
