Stop the Traffik
2007 marked the 200th anniversary of the Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade in the UK. One would like to think this work in the 19th century meant the end of slavery. This was not to be.

Monthly
Update: Burma Cyclone Appeal
Archbishop Sir Frank Little
The National Council of Churches in Australia
is responding to the devastation caused by Cyclone
Nargis in Burma ( Myanmar ), through our humanitarian
agency Christian World Service, our partner the
Myanmar Council of Churches and our global humanitarian
network ACT International.
The Victorian Council of Churches mourns the death and rejoices in the life of Archbishop Sir Frank Little who died on Monday night in his Camberwell home, aged 82.
Archbishop Little was a good friend of the Council and a great supporter of Ecumenism. Council delegates always appreciated the fact that he made time to attend Council meetings, contributed theological insight and was a friend to many. We give thanks for his life, his friendship and the continuing effects of his contribution.

Migration is a fact of life. It is as much an instinct to survive as it is an inevitable consequence of globalization. We can neither turn our backs on it, nor control it," declared in a statement participants at a 15-16 April Public Hearing on Migration and the Changing Ecclesial Landscape in Beirut, Lebanon. "Migrants are not commodities, illegal aliens or mere victims, they are human beings."
