Freedom for Faith conference- Nov 6, 2023

I am pleased to share details of the Freedom for Faith annual conference- this should be a great day to consider religious freedom issues in Australia. (I am on the board of Freedom for Faith, and would encourage anyone interested in this area to support the organisation as it seeks to advocate for religious freedom for all!)

Freedom for Faith invites you to its annual conference, FREEDOM23, on November 6th at Village Church Annandale (Sydney) and live streamed.

FREEDOM23 will inform you about the current threats to religious freedom and their effects on families, churches and faith organisations, equip you to be ready for what lies ahead, and to advocate for religious freedom now, and encourage you in the knowledge that together, our voices can be heard.

The day will be particularly helpful for church and other religious leaders, those working in faith organisations, and anyone concerned about threats to religious freedom.

FREEDOM23 speakers include:

  • Max Jeganathan – Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Public Christianity (CPX), former lawyer and policy advisor.
  • Mike Southon – Executive Director of Freedom for Faith
  • Dr Alex Deagon – Associate Professor of Law, QUT
  • Nick Jensen – Political liaison for the Australian Christian Higher Education Alliance (ACHEA)
  • Peter Fowler – CEO of The Anglican Schools Corporation

Religion and Private Law

I am presenting some brief comments on the background of private law, especially the law of torts, in the doctrines of Christianity, for a seminar organised by the law student association at my University. The paper can be downloaded here.
