We're busy preparing for Refugee Weeknext week; on Wednesday, we'll be at the Turn Compassion Into Action Refugee Week event - we've gathered together the experts in the refugee movement here in WA to join together in one room to resource the wider community to turn that compassion into action - so we'd love to see you there!
For the sake of justice and peace,
Geoff and Kate

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.
