Learning Together in Christ 2012
Tuesday 22 May, 4.30pm – 7pm
Burnside City
Uniting Church (384 Portrush Road, Tusmore).
This is the third year of Learning Together in Christ. It will be led by Drew Thomas. Drew is an educator, a career developer, a Quaker and currently President of SA Council of Churches.
You are welcome from 4pm to register, share refreshments and settle in.
In this conversation, we will be invited to explore the Quaker understandings of silent worship, the Inner Teacher and of shared discernment in Spirit. We will consider Quaker processes, and in particular the Meeting for Clearness, and the way in which that has been developed in the work of Parker Palmer and the Centre for Courage Renewal in supporting people in their sense of vocation and their matching of soul – the essence of who they are, and role – what they do in the world.
Registration and Cost: Places are limited to 30 - please register your intention to attend with SA Council of Churches as below. A contribution of $20 per person or $15 concession is payable at the door and includes refreshments.

Matching Gift Fund – Uniting World
What is the Matching Gift Fund?
To help us make sure we can match the available Government funding, UnitingWorld has established the Matching Gift Fund for approved development projects.
This means that by making a tax-deductible donation to the Matching Gift Fund before the end of the financial year, you can make your gift go further.
All around the world, women are leading the way in their communities, committed to peace, education and livelihood opportunities. In 2012-2013, donations given to the Matching Gift Fund will support the critical contribution of women in development. As the United Nation’s Development Program notes, “Women’s empowerment helps raise economic productivity and reduce infant mortality. It contributes to improved health and nutrition. It increases the chances of education for the next generation.”
All donations to the Matching Gift Fund will support the life-giving work of our partners in West Timor, Ambon and North India. Teamed with the Australian Government grant, your gift will go even further.
All donations made to the Matching Gift Fund over $2 are tax deductible. Should the funds raised exceed the amount required to meet the needs of these projects, UnitingWorld will use the excess funds to support similar relief and development programs.
