How We Work

The NCCA gathers together Churches and Christian communities which confess the Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour according to the Scriptures. We commit to deepen our relationship with each other and to work together towards the fulfilment of common witness, proclamation and service, to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The motion draws on Anglican Board of Mission report on the impact of the conflict in the Middle East, particularly on the Diocese of Jerusalem and the Al Ahli Arab Hospital and its field clinic at Al Ahli Kahn Younis in Gaza. In passing the motion, General Synod:

 1. Noted critical shortages of medicine and medical supplies, and critical shortages of food and clean water, with an estimated ten thousand children living with life-changing injuries.

 2. Encouraged the members of General Synod to pray for the work of the ministry of the Diocese of Jerusalem and the Middle East and the ministry of the Diocese of Jerusalem and the Anglican Board of Mission Australia in that diocese

“This motion is a meaningful step by the Anglican Church of Australia to stand with Palestinian Christians in this moment of profound suffering,” said John Na’em Snobar, Director of Advocacy for Palestinian Christians in Australia.
