Christian love makes a way through the grief towards a safer climate

Be part of something bold, together this Lenten season.

Australian Churches are invited to join in pastoral and prophetic leadership during the lead-up to Easter to respond to the long-running bushfire disaster and other recent ‘unprecedented’ disasters.   We can build on the momentum and imagery from Australia’s bushfire disaster 2019-20 and link it to Christian narratives that are part of Australia’s culture (eg fire, flood, regeneration).

Thank you for being part of the Christmas Bowl

Together, we have raised more than $1.6 million to date with more still expected to be received.

In a world so full of disaster, conflict, injustice and pain, you’ve joined with Christian communities across Australia to make a powerful difference for people in need.
