The Church in this country is an immense contributor<br />
to our society, through our parishes, our schools,<br />
our hospital and aged care, our social services and<br />
countless other ministries.<br />
As we continue to contemplate how we live out the<br />
Gospel in this age, including through the Plenary<br />
Council, I look forward to working with my brother<br />
bishops and the People of God to carry forward<br />
Christ’s mission.<br />

Here on this sacred land of the Darug and<br />
Gundungurra people, and elsewhere, and in the<br />
spirit of the Gospel, we seek to bring healing and<br />
restore trust. We commit to the Uluru Statement of<br />
the Heart: to work for a fair and truthful relationship<br />
with the people of Australia and a better future for<br />
our children based on justice and<br />
self-determination.<br />

It is a battle not just for democracy against autocracy,<br />
but for freedom against slavery, for truth against<br />
falsehood, for life against death, for good against<br />
evil. In such a battle the Church cannot remain<br />
neutral, which is why we write to you now to express<br />
our unqualified solidarity with you and your people.<br />
