Journeying

Mission and Justice Work

Blackwood Uniting Church does not have a mission and justice committee. Instead it has a large number of committed people doing mission and justice work and a small Coordinating Group. Our mission and justice work is focused in three areas, each area having local and global aspects.

• Justice Focus: Solidarity with disadvantaged and oppressed people, peace in the world and our own community, and reconciliation with Aboriginal people.
• Environmental Focus: A sense of justice for all creation in a world that has been exploited and damaged.
• Partnership Focus: Living a caring and sharing faith through contemporary mission that includes work with partner churches and partnerships with other groups beyond our congregation.

Priority Themes

Remembering that we are a “pilgrim people, always on the way” (from the Basis of Union), we have chosen four areas for special attention with the common theme of “journeying”.

• Aboriginal People
• Partner Churches
• Sacredness of all Creation
• Blackwood Hills Circle of Friends
