2008 JCMA Women's conference: Daughters of Faith 2
"Celebrating Difference Within
and Between our Faiths" will be held on 18th-20th
February 2008
is currently organizing
its 2008 residential conferences. The conferences aim to
enable people of faith, both lay and professionals, to
deepen their understanding of Judaism, Christianity and
Islam in Australia today by meeting, engaging with and
learning from other Jews, Christians and Muslims. Applications
are invited.
Please note that we invariably receive more applications
from Christians than there are places available, as we
endeavor to maintain a workable balance of faiths, so we
ask you please not to be offended should you not be allocated
a place on this occasion. We try to give priority to those
who have applied for places at previous JCMA conferences.
Meeting and learning from Jews, Christians and Muslims,
together, leads participants towards a deeper understanding
of Judaism, Christianity and Islam in Australia and new
friendships just come naturally.
• Worship experiences;
• Personal stories;
• Accounts and insights;
• Engaging group discussions;
• Key aspects of each faith explained through personal
experiences;
• Opportunities to explore what brings people together
in spite of different cultural and religious heritage
All this takes place in an atmosphere of frank, open and
personal conversations fully respecting and accommodating
religious and cultural needs and sensitivities. More information
about our principles of dialogue can be found here.
, with a view to having
a balance of Jews, Christians and Muslims as far as possible.
Similarly, places will be allocated to ensure a balance
as relevant of men and women, lay people actively involved
in their congregations, clergy, academics from religious
and secular institutions, persons working in community
support roles, and tertiary students. A proportion of places
will be reserved for interstate participants. Assistance
will be available to those who would otherwise be prevented
from attending for financial reasons. Applicants cannot
be guaranteed a place in the conference.
