Connecting Conversations Across Culture, Creed, Traditions
Hope’s cafe,
Cnr Norwood Parade and Portrush Road (rear of church), Norwood
9 December 2020 5:30pm - 8:00pm
Event details
Let’s talk about the new Australia! Who is my neighbour and how do our beliefs and
spiritual practices connect or differ from one another?
You are invited to be part of a group exploring different faiths and to meet others who have had very similar or different faith-traditions from you? We are aiming together to encourage friendship across creed, culture and traditions; an opportunity to participate in building new community; and a chance to share questions and discoveries (in a safe space) as we reflect on our own tradition/transition.
THEME for 9 December: share, critique, explore and discuss your faith / formational values
(this can be from a faith / culture / value-system which shaped you) and please be prepared
to share one positive of another culture / faith / value tradition you admire - an interactive
workshop style forum. (please endeavour to do this in 5 minutes so that we can have time
for as many as possible.
Speakers: You and all of us! An Interactive forum to hear any who would like to
participate.
Come and share thoughts, questions and reflections and feel free to bring a friend ☺
Meal: $10 - $15 per person, but you are welcome to donate more to assist our chefs who
are struggling to find employment. Please make contact if you are interested in catering
fees as our chefs, Gula and Zaid would be delighted to hear from you.
Please RSVP via email to let Liellie know by 6 December (Sunday): Turn on Javascript!
Planning for next year: 2021 here we come!: Please bring thoughts and ideas towards
content-making for 2021 to be discussed after the interfaith event – love to hear from you!
Reflect:
What is our knowledge, expectations of ourselves and the different creeds, cultures
and traditions around us?
What are our questions about the culture; the faith tradition; the belief-system we
or our neighbours represent?
What are your own challenges and your own experiences about great moments and
complex challenges of your / someone else’s beliefs?
We aim to work with the concept of respecting all questions and answers while we
take time to get to know the similarities and differences we share.
Conversations will take place in a safe space where we can all listen and learn from
another. ((This event is supported by Leillie Mc Laughlin of Community Connections, a Pilgrim Uniting Church initiative/project).
