  1. NCCA National Council of Churches in Australia

  2. The objectives of the NCCA are:

  3. to encourage and enable the member churches to develop their existing relationships by: • raising awareness among their people of Christ's gift of unity and of his call to express that unity through prayer, dialogue and shared engagement in mission; and • coming to know each other better in all respects, including the areas of spirituality, liturgy, theology, history, sociology and culture;

  4. to encourage and enable the member churches in the light of the Gospel to give prophetic leadership to each other and the community by: • developing a deeper understanding of evangelism/ evangelisation in Australia's cultural context; • addressing moral issues; • speaking out on behalf of oppressed people; • acting in solidarity with Aboriginal and Islander people; and • responding to human need and acting on issues of justice, peace and creation;

  5. to promote relationships • with non-member churches, state ecumenical bodies within Australia, regional and national ecumenical bodies in Asia and the Pacific, and the World Council of Churches; and • with people of other living faiths; and • to undertake joint initiatives as determined from time to time by the National Forum at the request of member churches.
