Multiculturalism
The fact that a site is listed here does not necessarily mean that I agree with what is presented on it or that it represents an official position of the Uniting Church in Australia unless it is an official UCA site.
Most of the links on this page are to documents which were provided in .pdf format to delegates to NCYC 2003 - the Uniting Church's National Christian Youth Convention. The Assembly (Uniting Church National Body) provides other resources. If you are looking for more general information, doing a search using Google or a similar search engine will bring results.
