9th SEPTEMBER - VICTORIA - THEOLOGICAL FORUM: WHAT DOES SOCIAL JUSTICE HAVE TO DO WITH SALVATION?
Presented by World Vision, the forum will look at the nature of salvation. Over many years, this question has generated a diverse range of theological understandings. Is it about going to heaven when we die? If so, what does social justice have to do with it? Is it about bringing heaven to earth? Is it primarily individual or communal? This forum seeks to inform and encourage conversation among the Christian community on this important topic. There will be a time of open discussion. Speakers will include: Tim Foster, director of theological education and formation at Ridley College, Melbourne; Merrill Kitchen, formerly principal of the Churches of Christ Theological College, Melbourne; and, Siu Fung Wu, theological education officer for World Vision Australia. To be held from 7pm - 9pm, at Tabor College, 222 Oban Road, Ringwood North. Admission is free. RSVP to nils.vonkalm@worldvision.com.au by Monday, 6th
September. For further information please contact Nils von Kalm on (03) 9287 2512 or email nils.vonkalm@worldvision.com.au

12th-18th SEPTEMBER - MARRIAGE WEEK
 Marriage Week is an annual celebration to reinforce and promote the benefits/importance of marriage and increase awareness and value of pre-marriage and in-marriage education, promoting a marriage culture. Of course there must be continuing recognition of responsibilities for the singles, the single parents/ divorcees and the child within our midst who may be growing up without a mother or father role model. Many churches, marriage and other ministries and Christian broadcasters are taking part in Marriage Week. During that week, amongst their events, broadcasts, marriage will be celebrated and recognised that as:
• foundational in Gods' plan of creation;
• 'the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life'; and,
• the foundation of families and gave the right balanced environment for children to grow up in.
