Welcome to the Institute for Spiritual Studies at St Peter's, Eastern Hill in 2006. Once again we have on offer a variety of first rate presenters, on Saturdays and on weekday evenings – topics to inspire, to challenge and to inform.

The ISS program is our offering to the wider church and community. The Committee chaired by Dr Jan Gordon-Clark does a great job in all the necessary behind the scenes work. We work on a break-even budget, and obviously we look forward to encouraging good numbers of people to join us, through the quality of our presentations.

The continuing and growing support of those who value this service makes it all possible.

See you at some of the seminars in 2006.

Vicar of St Peter's Church, Melbourne
