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 National Indigenous Ecumenical Council in Australia (NIECA) is hosting the Holders of Our Knowledge and Keepers of Our Stories, featuring renowned Indigenous speakers from Australia, Asia, and the Pacific.

The Holders of Our Knowledge and Keepers of Our Stories Symposium will bring together leading Indigenous scholars, theologians, cultural knowledge holders and community leaders for two days of deep conversation, cultural exchange and spiritual reflection in Adelaide from 7–8 July 2026. Hosted at Pilgrim Uniting Church, the symposium invites participants to explore how ancient wisdom, story, law, culture and language continue to shape communities today. As the program states, the gathering centers on ‘the sharing and transmission of ancient wisdom, spirit, law, culture and language founded in our cosmology and philosophy‘.

It will be held in the Pilgrim Uniting Church, Adelaide, on Tuesday, 7 July and Wednesday, 8 July 2026 to celebrate Indigenous Knowledges as a living culture.
