The Sixth Australian
Residential Conference 
of 
Jewish, Christian & Muslim
Women



 

Sunday Program:

For several years now, the first day of the conference, which is always a Sunday, is a youth day, developed around topics of interest to and contributions from young women, but it is also intended in general for women who are unable to come to the full conference because of work or other commitments. To register, see JCMA Women Conference 2012 Flyer Young Women

The JCMA Women’s Conference offers an exciting and stimulating opportunity for women to share experiences and perspectives in the conversation of faith and hope towards the future of humanity. Women will have the opportunity to actively engage with one another and explore ways in which they can make a difference; this will be via informal small group and general discussion.

Sessions will be interactive and presented by members of each faith, topics will include:

§  symbols of our faiths,

§  an introduction to the three faiths,

§  sacred Texts from the three faiths

Evening sessions will focus on getting to know other participants through music and singing and other enjoyable activities.

Time within the conference is also set aside for meditation, reflection and Muslim prayer
The Program includes:

Women’s Stories, Reflections & Spirituality

§  How women of faith respond to the challenges of human life

§  How women of faith relate despite differing culture and religion

§  Personal experiences that portray aspects of women’s faith and spirituality within their tradition, their place in each faith, about contemporary life and express hope in the future of humanity

§  Groups, songs, dance, art & culture

Registration & selection procedure

1. The number of participants is limited to 45 people. An appropriate balance of participants from all three faith traditions is sought, representing a wide spread of experiences and communities.

2. JCMA anticipates that there may be more applications than there are places available, in which case a selection procedure will be applied.

3. JCMA seeks a balance of lay men and women, clergy, academics, those working in support or welfare roles and tertiary students

4. Application forms are available from the JCMA Office (03 9650 3294) or from the JCMA website (www.jcma.org.au).

5. A $50 refundable deposit maybe required with the application. Deposits will be refunded to unsuccessful applicants & are also refundable for cancellations until 30 January 2012.

6. Applications are requested by Friday 20th of January  2012. Initial places will be allocated and applicants notified in the second week of June.

7. Successful applicants will be required to confirm their registration by payment of the registration fee within 14 days of notification.

If the fee is not received within this time the place may be offered to other applicants. Late offers of places may therefore be issued to those who were unsuccessful on the first application.

8. If there are still places available after the first round of offers, late applications will be considered.
