| Summary: | On 13 February 2008, the Australian Federal Parliament delivered an Apology to the Stolen Generations. This article contributes a theological understanding of the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australia in the context of this National Apology.

From these parallel perspectives the article explores what a new national covenant might mean — after “sorry”. |
