Expressing our hopes for a just, compassionate, inclusive and courageous nation The Uniting Church Assembly is delighted to share an update of the Uniting Church resource Our Vision for a Just Australia, released today ahead of the 2025 Federal Election. The document, covering seven foundational areas, expresses our hopes for Australia to be a nation that is just, compassionate, inclusive and courageous. Uniting Church President Rev Charissa Suli writes in the introduction: "As followers of Christ, we are called to be bold in love, relentless in justice, and unwavering in our hope for a better world. The Uniting Church has always stood for a society where all people can flourish—where justice is lived, creation is cherished, and every person is treated with dignity and respect." "This resource is an invitation to engage prayerfully and faithfully with the issues that matter, upholding the values we cherish as a Church. This is not about endorsing political parties but about embodying Christ’s love in the political process—asking hard questions, advocating with compassion, and holding leaders accountable to the values of justice, mercy, and love." The statement is a collaboration of those engaged in working for justice across the Uniting Church's Synods and agencies. It articulates the hopes and vision of the UCA in seven areas. It outlines key actions we believe should be taken by governments and the wider community to bring about communities of justice and flourishing. The Uniting Church Assembly has produced a number of resources to help you engage with the Vision: - A launch video, which can be used to introduce the resource.
- The full resource, to encourage deep thinking and conversations.
- Report Cards, one for each foundation, which summarise and focus the issues as a tool to engage local MPs and community leaders.
