Uniting Church in Australia

In response to the gift and call of God, the Uniting Church in 1985 proclaimed itself a multicultural church! In doing so the Assembly was acknowledging the changed and changing multicultural and multi-faith context of life and ministry in Australia and the presence of people from culturally diverse background in its membership.

The Assembly declared the Uniting Church to be a multicultural Church and thus renewed a commitment to developing close and respectful relationships with Indigenous/first peoples.

This biblical vision of inclusion and of valued humanity and culture created by a loving and living God is one that needs to be continually nurtured and, through its various Assembly Agencies and through the diverse gifts of the Holy Spirit, the Uniting Church in Australia expresses that commitment and offers that nurture.
