After Sorry: Towards a New Covenant of Solidarity and Embrace

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. To explore the theological ramifications of the Apology the article focuses on two key themes which are reflected in both Christian and Indigenous perspectives on the world: narrative and relationality. From these parallel perspectives the article explores what a new national covenant might mean-after "sorry".
