News
The ACC&C was able to achieve a great deal in 2008. The opening of the ACC&C Bible Garden, which is located on the grounds of the ACC&C, occurred in August. The centre also strengthened its international links, and is at present the headquarters for the Global Network for Public Theology (GNPT).
During 2009 we plan to unveil the Mural Wall (24m long by 4m high), which is situated by the ACC&C Chapel and will depict in mosaic an Aboriginal representation of the Holy Spirit in our land. We continue to engage in ecumenical and interfaith dialogue through conferences and other events held at the Centre and elsewhere.
