OUR VOICE FOR JUSTICE
A Justice-Oriented Church
The Uniting Church in Australia has always understood itself as being oriented towards justice, sharing in God’s mission which is the reconciliation of the world. Since its inception in 1977 the UCA has been speaking out on social and environmental issues of concern and engaging with governments on matters of public policy.
Climate Justice
The Uniting Church seeks the flourishing of the whole of God's creation and all of God's creatures. We are particularly concerned about the threat of human-induced climate change on our planet. As Christians, we believe acting on climate change is a matter of justice.
Religious Freedom
The Uniting Church has played an active part in a national conversation about what it means to enjoy religious freedom. In a submission to the Federal Government's proposed new Religious Discrimination Bills, the UCA has raised its concern that the proposed laws do not adequately ensure the human rights of all Australians.

GET INVOLVED
