ŒPax Christi‚s Place in Peacemaking in the Pacific

By / 21 November 2007

Pax Christi will be holding its annual assembly at St Columba‚s Centre, 40 Vermont St, Ponsonby, Auckland on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 November 2007.

The Friday programme begins with a keynote address by Professor Joe Camilleri of the Centre for Dialogue, Latrobe University, Melbourne, titled Å’From the Middle East to Asia Pacific: Arc of Conflict or Dialogue of Cultures and Religions.

Saturday‚s programme will look at different aspects of the relationship between New Zealand and Pacific Islands, some unresolved conflicts in the region and hopefully, some paths towards resolutions of those conflicts by peaceful means. Contributions to the discussion will include Pacific Island and New Zealand speakers with experience in justice and peace work in the region. There will also be plenty of time for discussion on a wide range of topics.

We offer a warm invitation to anyone who would be interested in this gathering. Morning and afternoon tea will be provided but we would be grateful for a plate of finger food, or a contribution towards the costs of the venue and meals.

The programme runs on Friday 23 November: 6pm (shared meal), 7pm prayer and welcome, 7.30pm to 9.30pm keynote address; and Saturday 24 November from 9.15am to 4.30pm.

We hope you can join us for this important review of peace needs in the Asia-Pacific region. For more information, contact Pax Christi email paxnz@xtra.co.nz

About us

This site is run by the Social Justice Commission of the Anglican Church.

We seek to nurture justice spirituality and imagination, and engage in advocacy in all areas of life, overcoming poverty and transforming violence.

We encourage people to think and live “justly”, and emphasise debate and action on local, national and global issues.

Although we are Anglican, our vision isn’t so much about being Anglican. It’s about living justly. Justice is about how you live your life, and being just where we are. Working together, we can all flourish.
