On 8 May 2026, the UAICC - Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congressand the Uniting Church in Australia made a joint submission to the Joint Standing Committee on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs, which is conducting an inquiry into racism, hatred and violence against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.

This submission is not simply a policy document. It is a covenant act — a public expression of who we are called to be as a Church, and a declaration that reconciliation must be lived through action, not merely proclaimed in words.

Leaders across the Uniting Church NSW & ACT are being invited to commit now to a significant moment in the life of the Church: ONE, a new Synod-wide event to be held from 29–31 October 2026, with a Pre-Event Leaders’ Day on 29 October.

More than a standard event, ONE is being shaped as a purposeful gathering, an opportunity for the Church to come together in a time of change, renewal, and shared mission.

“I have always believed that unity is the founding charism - the founding gift - of the Uniting Church,” says the General Secretary, Rev. Dr Peter Walker. “We exist as a Church because God gave those who went before us a vision of unity. ONE will be a special moment to renew ourselves in the that gift and vision."

President of the Uniting Church in Australia, Rev Charissa Suli, has urgently called for peace and the protection of human life amid the escalating conflict in the Middle East.

In an official statement, Rev Suli emphasises that it is civilians bearing the heaviest toll and that war is not an abstract issue but deeply personal – touching families, displacing communities and inflicting long-lasting wounds.

“Many thousands of families now face the uncertainty of displacement and refuge, contributing to a growing humanitarian crisis affecting civilians across the region,” the President said.

“We urge governments and the international community to ensure protection and humanitarian assistance for refugees and displaced people whose lives have been upended by this conflict.”

Her statement also reiterates the Uniting Church’s longstanding commitment to peace, and urged governments and international leaders to prioritise diplomatic solutions, and uphold international law.

Rev Suli challenges members of the Uniting Church to respond in faith – through prayer for peace, support for humanitarian efforts, and advocacy for dialogue over destruction.

Next Monday, the President will host an evening of online prayer over Zoom.
