The NSW Ecumenical Council is comprised of seventeen (Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox) Christian churches throughout New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. As churches together we are committed to a journey of peace and reconciliation for ourselves and our world, rediscovering our unity in the love of Christ in order that God's love and healing may be known to all. Being together enables us to know God more deeply, to express a common voice on issues of concern in society, and to work together on specific projects concerning the churches and the needs of the wider community. Thank you for visiting our site. Grace and peace to you!
