UnitingJustice brochures and booklets
UnitingJustice has produced several brochures and booklets for Uniting Church members, which are colourful, informative and easy to read, and are provided free of charge.
The brochures are smaller, shorter resources which present information on the work of UnitingJustice and the Uniting Church on issues of social and ecological justice and peacemaking.
Our booklets present the major social justice statements of the National Assembly of the Uniting Church in Australia (adopted at triennial Assembly meetings, or by the Assembly Standing Committee).
These resources are useful to make available in church foyers, at church events and for the general information of people who are interested in social justice issues. Please contact UnitingJustice to obtain copies of one, or several.
