SUMMARY:The dignity we share: Interfaith conference
DESCRIPTION:The Dignity We Share: Jewish\, Christian\, and Muslim Perspectives on Faith\, Identity\, and Human Worth\nThree great traditions all claim a belief in the intrinsic dignity of every human being but have these beliefs failed in practice? \nJoin leading scholars and faith leaders from Judaism\, Christianity\, and Islam as we explore the meaning and limits of human dignity.

SUMMARY:Stanley Spencer: Prophetic Visions
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the Faith and the Arts series at St Peter’s Eastern Hill. Read more about the series here. \nPresented by Dr Claire Renkin\, Yarra Theological Union\, University of Divinity \nStanley Spencer (1891 – 1959) is one of the most celebrated and idiosyncratic English painters of the 20th century. Born in Cookham on the Thames\, Spencer rarely worked outside his village and its vicinity. Scripture and Christian revelation inspired him above all\, as he depicted people and places of his home in a visual language all his own. Working alone\, almost defiantly\, he crafted paintings full of passion and energy that catch not just a sense of life now\, but what lies behind it: he evokes something greater than all of us. Thoroughly anti-urban and anti-elitist\, he rooted his art in his local community\, full of eccentric neighbours and wounded villagers who exude a perverse joy. His own life was not easy\, but by deploying muted colours and distorted shapes he manages to evoke redemption beyond suffering\, goodness at the heart of humanity. Always struggling\, Stanley Spencer stares deeply into our world\, creating a prophetic vision of ourselves in all our brokenness\, yet held in a greater love \nBook Tickets

What sustains commitment and resistance in times of trial? What space can be made for dissonance and dissent? How do people engage and encourage others of like mind and heart? What resources can we find in our contexts and traditions? How do communities cultivate creative practices of transformation? To what are we called? \nPlease see our call for abstracts and save the date. More details to follow.
