celebrating diversity

We are called to continue to strive for a society of compassion, justice and good neighbourliness, so that Australia may take its place as a responsible participant in the international community. The Christian faith speaks of a God who cares especially for the poor and dispossessed, and who holds before us the constant possibility of a renewed community. It calls us not to fear but to hope, not to suspicion but to trust, not to division but to a fresh discovery of all people as our brothers and sisters in the human family.
In the present atmosphere, we who claim to be Christians have a special responsibility to ensure our attitudes and
involvements as citizens are informed by the faith we profess.
