Refugee and Migrant Sunday - 30 August

Resources

Refugee and Migrant Sunday is a celebration of the dignity of people who are refugees and migrants and the contribution they have made to life in Australia.  It is celebrated by the Churches together on or around 30 August 2009.
Refugee and Migrant Sunday Resources for 2009 have been gathered for use in churches, schools and the wider community by Working Parties of SA Council of Churches as part of Act for Peace: the international aid agency of the National Council of Churches in Australia (NCCA) www.actforpeace.org.au

We thank in particular

  • Elizabeth Bleby
  • Andrew Clarke
  • David Covington-Groth
  • Pam Jones

SA Council of Churches is also grateful to the people who have shared their stories and to Fr Jim Carty, The House of Welcome, for being willing to share them with us. Thanks, too, to Bryce Fegan, NSW Ecumenical Council of alerting us to them.

Those of you with good memories will see too that we have drawn in part from past Kits prepared by the National Council of Churches in Australia.

May you find something here for your community to use for reflection and action as we seek to make space for one another to be all we can be.
