LAW IN ORDER PTY LIMITED

The preamble expressly acknowledges that many in the churches which formed the Uniting Church shared the values of the emerging colonial society, including paternalism and racism towards First Peoples and were complicit in the injustice that resulted in the dispossession of land, 45 language, culture and spirituality. [...] COMMISSIONER WALTER: Congress is still part of the Uniting Church? 30 REVEREND FOTHERINGHAM: The answer is yes and - it is technically part of the Uniting Church in the sense that the property trust has that ultimate responsibility, and yet the Congress also sees itself as independent to the extent that we have a covenant relationship with the Congress. [...] So it's the sense as 10 you referenced that everything has this spiritual dimension and I guess the challenge for us sometimes that can be very different from a kind of Western understanding of the dichotomy between the secular and the sacred, or the spiritual and the material. [...] And the document itself 35 comes from one of the - perhaps the easiest way of describing it a department, called the dicastery, the Department of the Holy See of Rome, of the Vatican. [...] MR GOODWIN: It is clearly an acknowledgment of the responsibility, at least from the Pope, of the Catholic Church's laying of part of the foundation that led to 20 justify the dispossession of Indigenous peoples around the world through colonisation.
