 Women's Business: the challenge to white women (175.4 kb)
There are several ways of handling my role in this conference as the only white woman speaker. I have been asked to speak on "The Challenge to White Women". One way would be to tell stories which confirm the criticisms of the church already provided in this conference. The fact is, the churches, including their social justice agencies, have failed to adequately address the abuse of human rights of Aboriginal and Islander people in Australia. Some church agencies, such as the Board for which I work, take some action. None of us take enough action.
