The Commission engages with the theological work of the wider Church, both to learn and to contribute. It does so with explicit awareness of and regard to its Australian context, in particular its Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage, multi-cultural experience, and the current setting of its churches in a post-Christendom, multi-faith and secular environment within the Asia-Pacific region.

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in 2023
21 - 28 May 2023
“Do good; seek justice.” (cf Isaiah 1:17)
The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is an international Christian ecumenical observance kept annually between Ascension and Pentecost in the Southern Hemisphere and between 18-25 January in the Northern Hemisphere.
The theme for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in 2023 was chosen by a working group appointed by the Minnesota Council of Churches. They chose this verse from the first chapter of the prophet Isaiah as the central text for the Week of Prayer:
“learn to do good; seek justice, rescue the oppressed,
defend the orphan, plead for the widow” (1:17).
The resources have been adapted for use in Australia by the NCCA Faith and Unity Commission in collaboration with the Faith and Order Commission of the Victorian Council of Churches
