Australian Churches Covenanting Together

At the 5th National Forum of the NCCA in 2004, a landmark covenant was signed.

Church leaders have hailed it as one of the most significant events in Australia’s ecumenical history. “It’s an international benchmark,” NCCA president, the Revd Professor James Haire, said. “No one else, I believe, anywhere in the world, has been able to produce anything quite as comprehensive as this. It’s true that the US is working towards something similar – but that doesn’t include the Catholics.”

Churches continue to agree to the various parts of the Covenant.  To view a current copy of the document click here.
