On Monday 27 May, we were blessed to host the Aquinas Long Walk, exemplifying bridge-building and learning from those we ‘met’ along the road, including guests from The Long Walk Foundation, Opening the Doors Foundation, Nova Peris, indigenous Essendon footballers, and local primary and secondary schools. As Christians, we know that reconciliation is not just a noun but a verb: an action we take to heal relationships with others. Our indigenous guests shared their stories and our larger Australian story - one that started well beyond 65,000 years ago - to provide ‘illumination’ that breeds understanding.
