Not all Australians rejoice

Dr Garry Deverell is an indigenous former Uniting Church Minister. From Tasmania and thinking about becoming an Anglican priest.

Australia Day is on Tuesday and in his sermon, Garry highlighted the social and cultural issues facing indigenous people and their marginalisation in Australian society. Also how, as Christians, using the example and words of Jesus and the Torah, we could move forward in a spirit of reconciliation.

He quoted Jesus' quote from the prophet Isaiah about releasing the captives, restoring sight to the blind and letting the oppressed go free. At times an uncomfortable, but thought provoking and necessary sermon delivered with grace and gentleness.
