Listening to Country: An Indigenous Theology and Spirituality series
There is much wisdom, knowledge, and direction for living to be discovered in listening to country. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in these lands now called Australia know this and seek to live deeply connected to country and to share that knowing with others.
This three part series was jointly sponsored by Pitt Street Uniting Church, Eremos and Wellspring Community in collaboration with the then operative School of Indigenous Studies at the University of Divinity. The aim of the series was to explore and break open some of the wisdom, knowledge and direction for living to be discovered in listening to country.
