History
The Uniting Aboriginal and Islander Christian Congress (UAICC) formed in 1985, after the Assembly of the Uniting Church in Australia agreed to officially support the formation of the Congress. Reverend Charles Harris was the founding President. The UAICC consists of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of the Uniting Church in Australia, though members can also come from any other Christian denomination. The March 88 Committee - a special committee formed to organise the 1988 March for Justice, Freedom and Hope - was connected to the UAICC.
