The Broken Covenant
Fr Ted Kennedy , whose parish is in Sydney, Australia, is seen by his critics as a dangerous political activist; he sees himself as simply taking the Gospel seriously. He has given over his presbytery as a refuge for Aborigines, and is one of the most powerful spokesmen in the movement for Aborigine rights. He believes it is time that white 'civilisation' stopped telling 'primitive' tribes how to live their lives. 'Aborigines say - "When white people came we had the land and they had the Bible. Now we've got the Bible and they've got the land". I feel we're the ones who need evangelising - by them.'
