WALK – a group of Aboriginal church leaders, selected by their parishes to provide a forum for discussing matters that affect the Aboriginal churches and Aboriginal people within the wider Diocese, so that the views of Aboriginal Anglicans are an integral and strong voice into diocesan structures and decision-making processes.

The name WALK captures two aspects of the forum’s hopes and prayers. The letters W-A-L-K represent the word for “word/story” in each of the four Aboriginal languages spoken in Anglican churches in the NT: wed (Kriol); ayakwa (Anindilyakwa); lhaawu (Wubuy); and kunwok (Kunwinjku). The forum will enable Aboriginal Christians to talk together in their own culturally safe space, and be a voice to the non-Aboriginal members of the Diocese. Secondly, the word WALK express the vision that God calls all Christians to walk together, despite their differences of culture and background, so that the unity of the body of Christ is a reality.
