OUR Church leaders have been consistently speaking out for Australia to be more compassionate towards asylum seekers.
Now, in Brisbane, we have another chance to do something practical to back up those words and convictions.
The Romero Centre is offering that opportunity by calling for volunteers to visit asylum-seeker families who are being held in facilities in our city, awaiting the freedom they have been desperately seeking (Page 1).
Let’s hope there is a flood of volunteers.
