Our Vision for Reconciliation

Reconciliation is an essential part of being a Christian. Our vision for reconciliation is a future of openness where the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of this country will be restored to a place of equity, dignity and respect. We are committed to assisting, encouraging and resourcing ministry to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We pledge to consult and work with each other as equal partners in the development of our Church and land, in our communities, parishes and diocese.

We invite all who call Australia their home to join us and as we continue the process of healing our peoples and this land and seas.

Domestic and Family Violence

The Anglican Church Southern Queensland (ACSQ) does not tolerate domestic and family violence. We do not condone the use of domestic and family violence and offer pastoral care to those who experience the impact of domestic and family abuse.

 In 2022 the Church endorsed the Ten Commitments a unique and evidence-based response to Domestic and Family Violence by the Anglican Church in Australia.

NATIONAL REDRESS SCHEME

The Anglican Church in Southern Queensland (ACSQ) is a participant in the National Redress Scheme.

The National Redress Scheme is the primary redress scheme for people who were sexually abused as children in the Diocese of Brisbane and its parishes, schools, children’s homes and other agencies.
