We believe in reconciliation with First Nations People.
Newcastle Anglican acknowledges the traditional custodianship of the First Nations of the land on which the Diocese ministers—the Awabakal, Biripi, Darkinyung, Geawegal, Kamilaroi, Worimi, Garrigal and Wonnarua peoples—land that stretches from the Hawkesbury River to Lake Cathie, from the coast to beyond the Burning Mountain. We honour their enduring connection to Country, culture, community and spirituality, and recognise the rich histories, knowledge and traditions they continue to share with us.
We are committed to the work of reconciliation and building strong relationships, respect and trust between the wider Australian community and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Through our inaugural Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), we are taking meaningful steps towards stronger relationships, deeper understanding and greater opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across our Diocese and organisation.
