Some of these resources were prepared by our Leadership Team or our young people for worship or thinking about life, others are great resources and links we wanted to share!
Social Justice
Uniting Church in Australia
Croydon Uniting Church has a strong sense of responding to the New Testament imperative to work for a just society. It has a very active Social Justice Committee and the actions of many within the congregation respond to this call. These links give an idea of some of the ways we – and you – can be involved in working for Social Justice.
