NSW Ecumenical Council Refugee Seminar
Submitted by Penny on Fri, 11/07/2008 - 10:55am.
The NSW Ecumenical Council will be holding it's annual Refugee Seminar on Thursday 28 August at 6:30pm, at the University of Sydney.
The theme for 2008 is "Unheard Voices: Australia's role in Iraq's growing refugee crisis." This theme is consonant with the National Council of Churches focus on Iraq for Refugee and Migrant Sunday 2008.
Come along to hear three very different perspectives on the Iraq refugee crisis:
-
His Grace M. Meelis Zaia, Bishop of the Assyrian Church of the East
-
Donna Mulhearn, former human shield and humanitarian aid worker in Iraq
-
A/Professor Jake Lynch, former international journalist and now Director of the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies at Sydney University.
For more information have a look at the attached flier.
