The
Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress (Congress)
is Aboriginal people in the Uniting Church committed to assisting
Aboriginal people towards self-determination and building
communities of fellowship throughout Australia.
Congress gives priority to holistic evangelism-meeting
people in all their needs: Physical, Social, Cultural, Spiritual.

|
Reconciliation/Covenanting:
The Congress is working for renewed relationships between
indigenous and non-indigenous Australians throughout the Uniting
Church and reaching much further into the Australian community.
Growing partnerships and understanding.

|
In Victoria Congress has three main locations of work:
|
|
Narana Creations, the state centre at Grovedale,
is the Victorian home of the U.A.I.C.C. This is very important
to us. It is "our place" which employs, trains and frees Aboriginal
people for leadership in a way that is culturally relevant
to our people. It is growing fast.
|
|
At Robinvale and the Murray Outback Region,
Congress is at work building hope on the ground level with
local Koories and the wider community.
|
|
At the Minajalku Centre, in Thornbury, the U.A.I.C.C
in partnership with the Koories from other churches, is developing
an Aboriginal Christian spiritual place. Vince Ross - State
