The Uniting Church rejoices in diversity of races, cultures and languages as God’s gracious gift to the human family.

In 1985, the Uniting Church Assembly made the declaration “We are a multicultural church.” We continue on our journey to fully realise what it means to be a multicultural church, living faith and life cross-culturally.

We do this by:

• building relationships that are based on mutual respect, collaboration and recognition of the gifts and calling of peoples of diverse cultural and language backgrounds

• assisting the Church to fully utilise the gifts and calling of members from culturally diverse backgrounds

• continuing to develop respectful and reconciling relationships with First peoples across the life of the church

• developing culturally sensitive and appropriate policies that respond to the needs of UCA members

• fostering models of cross-cultural ministry and mission, outreach and evangelism that reflect the hospitality of God
