This discussion will set key metaphorical sites of 'home', 'war memorial', 'sports stadium', 'bush' and 'church' in historical context so as to examine perceptions of 'good', 'bad' and 'God' in Australia. It will use a range of historical sources to test out whether or not Australia really is 'the most Godless country under heaven'.   Date Tuesday 3 April Time 7.30 - 9.30 pm Venue St Peter's, Eastern Hill, Melbourne Cost $15 (includes light refreshment) Conductor: Dr Katharine Massam, Professor of Church History within the Uniting Church Theological Hall, Melbourne, and a principal Fellow of the History Department, University of Melbourne
