Faith, Fellowship and the Future

A Webinar on Myanmar organised by Pax Christi and friends.

Solidarity is what many in Myanmar are seeking as they face renewed challenges and trauma. Limited freedoms were enjoyed in recent years. Sadly, February this year saw full military control restored. How can the Christian community in Australia support our neighbour in the Asia Pacific?

When: Sunday 17th October, 2021

Time: 3.00-5.00pm (AEDT) 

An hour's discussion to follow with the panellists

This Webinar engages the church community and others interested. As various groups study ways forward, it is appropriate that Australian churches do the same. What actions can we take, on our own, with others, while building on work already done? The Burmese community here can also guide us. This Webinar will hopefully motivate us.
