Summary
A collection of passionate essays from religious leaders arguing for a First Nations Voice to be enshrined in the Australian Constitution. In this groundbreaking book, diverse religious leaders and thinkers come together to advocate for the Uluru Statement from the Heart. Contributors from Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and Sikh communities powerfully convey why a First Nations voice to parliament is necessary not only legally and politically, but also morally. Drawing on their unique spiritual beliefs, they argue that the Uluru Statement offers a profound opportunity to heal the wrongs of the past and ensure a better future for all Australians. A rallying cry of support across religious and political divisions, Statements from the Soul shows that the Uluru Statement goes to the heart of who we are as a country and is essential to reconciliation.With a foreword by Noel Pearson and preface by Henry Pinskier. Contributors are Stan Grant, Kanishka Raffel, Peter Comensoli, Antonios Kaldas, Sabah Rind, Fiona Jose, Ajmer Singh Gill, Prakruthi Mysore Gururaj, Wesam Charkawi, Ralph Genende, Bhikkhu Sujato, Russell Broadbent, Karina Okotel, Anthony Ekpo, David Saperstein and Rowan Williams
