It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of Rev Garlett AM, a truly great man and one of the most humble champions for justice we have known. Our hearts are with the family and the whole Nyungar community at this time.
We know many of you want to join us in remembering and honouring Rev Garlett - so we're pleased to be able to pass on details of this Public Memorial Service on Friday:
5.00pm - 7.00pm
Manning Park, 61 Azelia Rd. Spearwood
There will also be a formal funeral in Kellerberrin on Saturday 14 December - we will advise more details as they're confirmed, keep an eye out next week for this.
Every year, #ChristianswithPride have marched in the Perth Pride Parade to proclaim a gospel that includes, affirms and celebrates the LGBTQIA+ community. We’re excited to be carrying on this tradition as Equal Voices WA, and joining this year’s Pride Parade in a public witness to a Christianity that affirms and celebrates the LGBTQIA+ community!
We’d love for this to be our greatest turnout yet, so please do invite all of your friends to join us! This year, places in the parade are limited, so please do RSVP here so we can make sure you're accounted for and issued a wristband!
The Uniting Church Synod of Western Australia acknowledges the Wadjuk people of the Noongar nation, on whose land our Synod office stands. We acknowledge their elders past and present, and their people.
At its 7th Assembly the Uniting Church formally entered into a relationship of Covenant with its Indigenous members, recognising and repenting for the Church’s complicity in the injustices perpetrated on Australia’s Indigenous community, and pledging to move forward with a shared future. Congress’ generous response to this statement, among other messages, called upon the broader Church to take up the mission of reconciliation.
The ongoing and continually renewing nature of the Covenant calls the Uniting Church to continually act to remove the systems and structures of discrimination and oppression in Australia.The Uniting Church works for just, inclusive and equal relationships, recognising the place of First Peoples in Australia.
