We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of our land, paying our respect to their Elders past and present. In his wisdom and love, our Heavenly Father gave the land on which ethicentre is based to the Gadigal people of the Eora nation. On this land, they met for generations before the coming of British settlers. As we now live together on these lands, we pray that God would unite us all in a knowledge of his Son, Jesus Christ, in whom and for whom all things were created.
