Today (The Sunday before Australia Day) is known as Aborigines Sunday.
In 1938 the aboriginal leader William Cooper called on the churches of Australia to mark what he called ‘Aborigines Sunday’ on the Sunday before Australia Day.
Cooper requested sermons be preached on this day dealing with the Aboriginal people and their need of the gospel and response to it and we ask that special prayer be invoked for all missionary and other effort for the uplift of indigenous Australians.
Let's watch this clip from Indigenous Pastor Michael Duckett, who leads the ministry at Macarthur/Campbelltown and who chairs the Sydney Anglican Indigenous People's Ministry.
