Acknowledgement of Country
We acknowledge that the site of this church is placed adjacent to Tarndanyangga (Victoria Square), which is the site of ceremony and ritual of the Kaurna people, the traditional custodians of the Adelaide Plains.
We are awed that they celebrated the religious significance of place, plant and all living creatures; and that care for the earth was implanted in their law.
We honour them and also delight in the sacred in our midst.
We pray that in the power of the Holy Spirit we might work together for reconciliation and justice in this land.
The artwork shows a track between two places. As pilgrims
it reminds us that we are a people always on the way (see
Uniting Church Basis of Union, para 5). As we
undertake this spiritual journey we are reminded also that we need to listen
to and share with our Aboriginal brothers and sisters if we are to journey with them.
