A reminder that religious organisations—all religious organisations—exist only to further their own aims. Those aims only include the supporting of others where it is beneficial to the religion.
David Price, Jacinta Nampijinpa Price’s father, was consulted by a Presbyterian church committee on whether the Welcome to Country ceremony should be continued by church entities. He has no idea why. He is neither Indigenous or Presbyterian.
The committee did NOT consult the very people they were tasked with consulting: two Indigenous ministers and their own missionary organisation.
They also quoted Wakka Wakka woman Brooke Prentice out of context and without consulting her in a manner designed to further divide Christians from the Indigenous.
Why? Because they had an outcome in mind before they started.
