First, I wish to briefly introduce the concept of Christian mission so as to
understand the general Christian mindset that was fed into culture and therefore
colonisation. I then examine the relationship between colonisation and Christian
mission. This is followed by a brief summary of what Christian mission work on
the Australian continent looked like, having a closer look at the Aboriginal
Christian. From here I arrive to the process of reconciliation itself, taking a careful
look at its counterparts and what had to happen in order for it to take place. Before
conclusions I intend to evaluate separately two major denominations within
Christianity. I look at the change that the Catholic church may have experienced
during this period and then examine some clerical responses from the Anglican
Church of Australia and how they developed their views on the matter. My
primary sources for this area include the Second Vatican Council (1962-65), John
Paul II’s speech in Alice Springs (1986) and publications of the Synod of the
Anglican Church of Australia.
