Welcome to this ISS brochure for 2005 – either on our website or in the print version. Once again we encourage you to find the seminars that take your interest or spark your curiosity, and then plan to join us. We do our best to hit the right note in the topics offered and the speakers chosen. I think you will agree that there is a good mix again for the year that is ahead.
The last year has been very encouraging for us, The hard work of our Organisining Committee, headed by Dr Jan Gordon-Clark, has been amply rewarded by an excellent response. Well-attended seminars mean even more stimulating question and answer sessions and, of course, the conversation continues over refreshments too.
ISS at St peter's, Eastern Hill exists to address the spiritual needs and searching of a broad-ranging ecumenical constituency, which finds this city location one that works as a gathering place for this type of venture. St Peter's Eastern Hill, as the Anglican parish churhc of the City of Melbourne since 1847, is delighted to offer and share its facilities in this particular way.
We welcome and encourage your support for ISS in 2005, and we look forward to seeing you.
Rev'd Dr John Davis
Vicar of St Peter's Church, Eastern Hill
Director of the Institute for Spiritual Studies
