The National Council of Churches Australia (NCCA) seeks to promote greater understanding and cooperation between Christian denominations. The National Council of Churches works for justice for those in need such as facing homelessness in Australia. The NCCA is supporting the ‘Everybody’s home’ campaign petitioning for an end to homelessness in Australia. The NCCA also promotes ecumenical prayer opportunities such as the World Day of Prayer and the Week of Prayer for Christian unity. These actions reinforce the ongoing impact of the ecumenical movement in Australia.
