It is hard to imagine Christianity being taken in worse circumstances to a people than has been the case with Aborigines throughout much of Australia. Christianity has been an intrinsic part of the colonization process and, as a consequence, has been a companion to frontier violence, dispossession, disease, depopulation, and degradation. Christianity was the religion of the white conquerors who assumed authority and control over Aboriginal people. Missionaries were part of the new law that dominated Aboriginal law. This has certainly been the case in North Queensland (Loos 1982). The missionaries were, of course, as much prisoners of their culture as other colonists. From the hindsight of the twentieth century, many of their attitudes toward Aboriginal people can be seen as offensive. Yet, unlike the other colonists, they came to give Aborigines the greatest gift they had to offer: the salvation they had found in Jesus Christ. They confused their salvation with their culture and both with the 'civilization' they tried to impose on Aborigines.

Alec’s! Loved that building as a kid. The ramp was filled with flowers. But that was after when Alec’s was no more and it was Payless Drug.
