Brooke Prentis is an Aboriginal Christian Leader from the Wakka Wakka peoples, and the CEO of Common Grace, a movement of people pursuing Jesus and Justice.
We had a conversation with Brooke about the role of the Church in Australia when it comes to historical and ongoing issues of injustice for our First Nations Peoples on this land. We also spoke about recovering a sense of connection to place and story, and learning to walk gently and listen deeply.
This episode is essential listening for any Australian church leader or planter who wants to take seriously what it means to lead and establish church communities in Australia, while nurturing genuine relationship with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
