Sorry Day Statement and Reconciliation Sunday resources

Ten years ago, moved by the findings of the Bringing Them Home Report into the plight of the Stolen Generations, the National Assembly of the Uniting Church in Australia issued its ‘Invitation to the Nation’. This national statement invited all Australians to recognise that genuine justice and reconciliation can only come from an understanding of our shared history and acknowledgement of the realities of our present.

Reflecting on this statement, the President of the Uniting Church in Australia, Rev Gregor Henderson, expressed his shame that life for Indigenous Australians is still marked by racism and dispossession.
