| Summary: | 1. Approaches to Indigenous cultures -- 2. Indigenous voices -- 3. Elements of a theological appreciation -- 4. Conclusions -- 5. Selected bibliography. Duncan Reid tackles a mammoth but urgent task, the task of reimagining our ways of seeing in and through the eyes of the other. This is a task First Nations People have become adept at in the intersection between Aboriginality and the European way of seeing. Reid challenges us each to move out of our siloed thinking and be as expansive as the Australian continent in our engagement with the Great Creator Spirit who is indigenous to this place. Please read and digest.' Revd Glenn Loughrey MA, Wiradjuri, author, artist, Anglican Priest and Blackfella's Youngfella 'In an age where so much public discourse is characterised by loud voices and polarisation Duncan Reid's invitation to a deep listening to some indigenous voices comes as a much-needed alternative. More than ever we need to move beyond debate to dialogue real conversation where relationships are deepened rather than fractured. With sensitivity and humility Reid invites us to enter into real dialogue with the oldest human culture, to befriend our own stories and to understand the country on which we walk. It is indeed time we started listening and this small book is a valuable contribution to the dialogue that is so importantif we are to know true reconciliation.'Rt Revd Jeremy Greaves, Bishop for the Northern Region, Anglican Diocese of Brisbane |
