Watch sessions from a Statement from the Heart workshop

On February 15, 2023 , Professor Anne Pattel-Gray and the Rev Canon Dr Garry Deverell (from the University’s School of Indigenous Studies) presented at a Statement From the Heart workshop hosted in Adelaide by Churches Together SA.

The Spirit of God is the Spirit of Truth

Here Professor Pattel-Gray seeks to explore what it means for the Australian churches to be called by God to be Christ’s ambassadors for justice and reconciliation, including a specific and timely call for the churches to support a ‘yes’ vote in the referendum on an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament.

The Uluru Statement from the Heart and the Referendum on the Voice

Here Dr Deverell unpacks what the Statement for the Heart says, with attention being given to its historical, political and theological contexts. Garry also reflects on the likely composition of the Voice and the referendum question.
