Free Will or Divine Script? Who’s Really in Control?

Australian Intercultural Society(AIS)is a not for profit organisation that has been operating in Melbourne since 2000 with the aims of promoting multiculturalism and fostering intercultural and interfaith dialogue. We believe in reaching out to all members of society by providing a platform for cultural and information exchange.Since its establishment, AIS has organised international study tours, academic conferences, cultural exhibitions, Ramadan multi-faith iftar dinners and government sponsored projects, among other activities. Each event provides ample networking opportunities, so the circle of people wanting to build bridges with other communities and collaborate on projects with AIS grows with each program(www.intercultural.org.au).

Drawing on Christian and Muslim perspectives, panellists will examine how each tradition understands the relationship between God's sovereignty and human agency.
