Honouring the work done by the first Aboriginal woman to be ordained in the Anglican Church of Australia, this project allows the Rev Gloria Shipp to maintain an active ministry that reaches out beyond the walls of the church to embrace the entire community.

Gloria updated ABM on her
important work which includes a Reconciliation Luncheon. Powerful impacts are made as is illustrated through feedback from one participant:

“I love the idea of us all being one, no colour or race, we are all equal. God loves us all. I also understood better about the hurt that Indigenous people have gone through. And how it continues through the generations, and how we can all work together to make a difference for  future generations. Learning how to let go of the hurt. The ideas shared were very thought provoking, powerful and encouraging.”

“Thanks again Gloria, job well done, to you and all your helpers. The dancers were the best I have seen and the food was great as well!”

Gloria’s work coordinates powerful activities and brings together people from the Aboriginal community for vital fellowship, learning and sharing. Your gift to this project allows this work to continue.
