| Uniting Church: National Ministers Conferences 2011 |
Conference Theme: Ministry in a Time of Transition
Dear Colleagues in ministry,
Greetings to you and welcome to the website of the National Ministers Conferences 2011!
Here you will begin to form the collegial community of learning and encouragement that these conferences will become.
I have a number of hopes for these conferences:
- to provide a space for Uniting Church ministers to reflect on the challenges and satisfactions of ministry in this time of deep transition in church and society;
- to engage with the contextual theme of the conference you choose;
- to experience the multicultural character of the Uniting Church;
- to form collegial relationships with ministers and church workers in placement across the nation; and
- to be refreshed physically, spiritually, and vocationally.
Below you will find the basic details for each conference, and [More Info] links to each conference. You can also navigate your way around using the tags above.
Registration for the Vanuatu Conference is now closed.
The Adelaide conference is already fully subscribed, so is therefore also closed.
There are still plenty of places left for the Alice Springs conference.
There is only one week to go before the closing date for the Alice Springs conference!!!
I very much look forward to seeing you at one of the conferences.
Yours sincerely, in ministry in Christ's name,
Alistair
