The theme of the Conference is ‘Beginnings and Endings in our Three Faiths", exploring prayer, joint scripture study, and hearing about the life experiences and faith journeys of others. In general terms we plan to cover :

• Rituals surrounding birth in our three faiths and the significance of these rituals for our respective faiths.

• Rituals around a child’s journey in faith to adulthood. How do we follow through the faith journey with our children?

• Rituals around death and their meaning. When do we accept that a person has died and how do we memorialize the human person?

All of this will be around living together and sharing meals over a three day period and sharing in the three faith's sacred prayer times.

Meals will be vegetarian and conform to Halal requirements. Strict Kosher food will be arranged for those who require it. Please advise us of any special dietary requirements. There are limited numbers so please book early.

Unfortunately, we are no longer able to absorb the Eventbrite fees, so $12.53 will be added on to your payment. This, in part, enables us to use credit card facilities to pay for bookings.
