Seminar Series:
Introduction to the
program for 2008

Welcome as you explore the 2008 seminar list of the Institute for Spiritual Studies. Our regulars will be pleased to see that once again there is a broad range of topics, with at least several that are likely to be 'must attends'. If the ISS is new for you, then try us out and bring some friends along as well. The evening sessions have an address for around an hour, followed by a refreshment break, and then further opportunity for questions and discussion. It is a formula that works well. One way or another Scripture, Reason and Tradition get a good working over in the context of searching consideration of the spiritual challenges of our time.

Our thanks as ever to the team, led by Jan Gordon-Clark, who have made all this possible — and the ISS team have now done so since the early 1980s.

We look forward to another stimulating series for the year 2008.

Go well!

Rev'd Dr John Davis
Vicar of St Peter's Eastern Hill, Melbourne
