Dr. Andreas Löwe, Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral in Melbourne, talks about the emotional and difficult debate surrounding January 26 and the role of his church in this context. Loewe explains how his church is trying to contribute to reconciliation by integrating indigenous concepts such as “country” and storytelling into its religious services and showing parallels between indigenous and Christian traditions. The theologian pleads for a reorganization of the national holiday that takes into account both grief over historical injustices and gratitude for the country's cultural diversity.
