We believe that God created each one of us out of love. This love is made real in the person of Jesus Christ, born 2000 years ago in Palestine. His violent death devastated his disciples. His resurrection empowered his followers through the gift of the Holy Spirit, giving them hope beyond their wildest dreams that has infused our world ever since.

We respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land upon which the Lismore Diocese sits; the people of the Bundjalung, Yaegl, Gumbaynggir, Dunghutti and Birpai Nations, who have walked and cared for this land for thousands of years and their descendants who still maintain these spiritual and cultural connections.
