The Blessing of Almighty God: The Canberra Declaration Story and the Call to Revitalise Australia

by Kurt Mahlburg (Editor and Contributor), Warwick Marsh (Editor and Contributor), John Anderson (Foreword)

Australia has taken a huge risk. Like picking a flower from the garden, we have cut our culture from its Christian roots. We are now seeing the sad results of this all around us with the natural family, religious freedom, and the sanctity of life quickly withering.

Now celebrating ten years, the Canberra Declaration is a clarion call to recover Australia's Christian roots so that our culture can thrive once more. Read about the forging of this landmark document and the ongoing effort to advance its cause. And be renewed in the high call of the Australian Constitution to "humbly rely on the blessing of Almighty God"—for every Australian's benefit.
