Organiser Brenton Reimann from the Christian group Awakening says the pilgrimage promotes understanding between cultures.

“The Sorry, the national apology, that was important, but how do we take that to the grassroots?” he said.

It was Christian missionaries who orchestrated, ran, supported the atrocities against the original inhabitants of Australia, you hypocritical dickhead. And they covered it up with their institutional corporate stand-over muscle whilst raping the kiddies involved, beating them mercilessly, and forcing them into slavery.
And have yet to even make a concilliatory squeak about apologizing! Politicians apologised, not the Criminal Dons in charge of the Church mafia rings.

Mind, these are minor crimes when compared to the Church run missions’ policy of kidnap, and denial of parents’ absolute rights to their offspring!

“We think this pilgrimage is what’s doing that.”

If you think that, then you are benightedly ill-informed, probably wilfully so given the vast, accessible amount of information concerning Christian Crimes against the original inhabitants.

He says it aims to develop a connection between the young pilgrims and people in the Aboriginal community.

I hope that they do. And then you can help them take the churches to the Hague for crimes against humanity. That would be a start.

“It is about celebrating the hope and harmony that comes from understanding the true message of Easter, which is about the death of selfishness and the coming alive of care and compassion.”

Bullshit! Even a cursory reading of the fiction that he calls the Bible reveals that Easter is a totally insane cobbling together of several ancient rituals that only made sense to illiterate goat-herders who believe that sacrifice was the only way to may it rain.

Outside of that, it is a pointless and bloodthirsty rite, that even in the N.T. (get it?) makes less than no sense.
