The Uniting Church, across its councils, agencies and schools is marking NAIDOC Week by sharing stories of First Peoples and their deep connection with the land. One of the stories tells of Frontier Services Outback Links volunteers as they work with Adnyamathanha people at Mt Serle Station in the Flinders Ranges.
For NAIDOC Week 2020, Rev John Cox and Nina Mackenzie of the Uniting Church's National Safe Church Unit talk to Interim UAICC National Chairperson Rev Mark Kickett about what being a safe church means to him and other UAICC members.

Australia's First Peoples who share with us the blessing of the world's oldest living culture. May we live out our Covenant commitment to walk alongside each other in love, respect and understanding.
All those whose lives were lost in war and for those family, friends and communities who mourn their passing. We pray for peace, justice and healing in all places where there is conflict. In the name of Christ, Amen.
