Aunty Jean Phillips

Aunty Jean Phillips is an Indigenous Australian elder and has been a senior Aboriginal Christian leader for over 60 years.

She has mostly served those living in poverty, bringing to light the need for better housing and employment, as well as raising awareness about the truth of Australia's history.

Her work has encouraged a new generation of Aboriginal Christian leaders as well as challenged non-Aboriginal people to address injustice, in order "To build a better Australia for all Australians".

Despite suffering injustice and poverty, to Phillips these women were inspirational examples of courage and faithful Christian service.

This movement calls on Christians to gather, for prayer services and for truth telling about past injustices and discrimination still faced by Aboriginal people and for subsequent action and justice.
