The UnitingEarth website is now supported and administered by the grass-roots Uniting Eco Group. Nothing that appears here is official Uniting Church NSW.ACT policy or theology, unless explicitly stated.
Uniting continues to support climate action through their Advocacy Unit, and the UCAN project. A link to that work, and any official Synod work, appears at the bottom of this page.
Uniting Eco Group will continue to resource the church in Earth sustaining advocacy, theology, worship, spirituality and action, through this web site, facebook page, facebook community, youtube channel and email list.
Many of you have appreciated our work in the past, which is what motivates us to keep going. We will provide opportunities to support UnitingEarth, both by sharing your resources with us to share with others, and financially.

I have been involved in some protests recently seeking to get National Australia Bank to stop funding coal. NAB has been the worst bank offender claiming on the one hand to be on side with reducing carbon emissions for the sake of keeping global warming to 1.5 degrees and on the other hand increasing, not decreasing, its funding of coal mining such as Whitehaven Coal. Here are some of the details about NAB’s hypocrisy drawing on a handout written by Jon O’Brien.
