National Reconciliation Week
Reconciliation is not just about the past. It is about the kind of country we are creating right now.
We live in a world where people can connect instantly, yet many still feel unheard. We speak about equality, yet racism still exists. We celebrate diversity, yet some stories are still pushed aside.
Being “ALL IN” means refusing to stay comfortable when others are hurting.
It means learning the truth about Australia’s history, even when it is confronting.
It means recognising the strength, survival and leadership of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It means calling out racism when we hear it in conversations, comments, group chats or social media.
It means understanding that reconciliation is not symbolic. It is personal.
Jesus constantly crossed over boundaries. He listened to people others ignored. He challenged injustice. He built connection where society created division.
That same invitation is placed before us today.
Not just to post about justice. Not just to agree with reconciliation. But to live it.
The future of reconciliation in Australia is not only in politics or leadership. It is also in this generation.
