We acknowledge God as the Creator of this land, who has entrusted it to be cared for and nurtured by its people. We honour His gift to our Indigenous brothers and sisters, the First Nations Peoples, and recognise their deep spiritual connection to the lands, waters, seas and skies in which we work and serve. We acknowledge First Nations Peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the oldest living culture in the world. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and commit ourselves, as part of our Christian faith, to walk alongside them in truth, reconciliation, and stewardship of this beautiful land.
