Raising Our Tribal Voice for Justice:
An Indigenous Theological Revolution

2023 Conference: 10 – 13 July

The School of Indigenous Studies is excited to announce an upcoming 4-day conference:
Raising our Tribal Voice for Justice: An Indigenous Theological Revolution.

This is the first-ever national ecumenical platform where Indigenous theologians from Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific will raise up their voices and challenge Churches across denominations to call their followers to action in addressing the injustice, inequality, and systemic failings of Churches history to protect, nourish, and benefit from Indigenous peoples and their knowledges.

What it is about

This Conference provides an opportunity for the Indigenous voice to be heard and for non-Indigenous peoples to gain an understanding of the Indigenous spiritual perspective to build their capacity in walking alongside and working with First Nations people and communities. A unique opportunity for truth-telling and learning, participants will gain a deeper understanding and insights of First Nations spirituality, knowledge, and history to inform individual and organisational transformative and restorative change.

You also won’t want to miss the conference special event on the evening of Wednesday 12 July:

Intimate Evening with Stan Grant and Anne Pattel-Gray

Stan Grant will present the inaugural Anne Pattel-Gray Lecture, celebrating Professor Anne’s life achievements and prophetic voice in her challenge to the Churches for justice.

This inspirational evening will provide an opportunity for guests to explore the Lecture through the Q&A which will be followed by a Cocktail Reception.
