Red Letter Voices Conference (Auckland)
After the success of the Red Letter Voices conference last year, it’s being held once again, this time exploring the practice of fighting for others.
For example:
- How does one fight for others at a political level (Kim Workman, NZ Director of Prison Fellowship),
- How does one fight for indigenous people (Jon Owen, Urban Neighbors of Hope Chapter Leader, Sydney Australia),
- How does one fight for global justice (Justin Duckworth, a Founder & Leader of Urban Vision, Wellington),
- How does one fight for stigmatized women & children (Ruby Duncan, CEO Iosis, South Auckland),
- How does one fight for the disabled (Evan Clulee, Ministries Director of Christian Ministries with the Disabled),
- How does one fight for peace (Adrian Leeson, who was one of the three arrested over their symbolic protest at the Waihopai spy base),
- How does one fight for the gay community without compromise (Mike Hercock from Sydney who recently got over 100 Pastors to rally for the gay community even though some of them could not condone the practice of homosexuality),
plus Musicians from both NZ & Australia whose music is a blend of God, us & the other.
The emphasis, as noted, will be on “how to…” rather than challenge. This will be an informative gathering. RLV will be sponsored by Alongsiders (Mick Duncan) and held at Carey Baptist College, Penrose, Auckland Friday 7.30-9.30, Saturday 9.30 – 4.30). There will be a conference fee of $50.00pp.
While women weep, as they do now, I’ll fight; while children go hungry, as they do now I’ll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I’ll fight; while there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I’ll fight, I’ll fight to the very end!
