Dear Friends in Christ,

You are warmly invited to a free ‘Alliance for a Strong Australia’ seminar designed to equip Christian leaders and all concerned Australians with essential knowledge to navigate the conflicting responses to Islam, antisemitism and freedom. 

Presented by Rev Dr Mark Durie, the seminar will provide practical strategies to contribute to a safe, peaceful, and cohesive community. Mark is a Fellow at the Middle East Forum, and a Senior Research Fellow of the Arthur Jeffery Centre for the Study of Islam at the Melbourne School of Theology. He is an internationally recognised authority on the origins of Islam, human rights and religious freedom. He recently contributed his knowledge of Islamic ideology to the inquiry into the recently published industrial abuse of 250,000 vulnerable British girls.  

His books, "Liberty to the Captives," "The Third Choice," and "Which God?" will be on sale.

The seminar will be held in Canberra on Saturday, August 8th - venue to be advised. Please see the attached flyer to register by Monday, August 3rd. 

The following topics will be covered:
1)  What is Islam?
2)  The Downside of Islam
3)  Islamic Antisemitism
4)  Christian Response

As antisemitism is on the rise and the persecution of Christians is intensifying – now reportedly 400 million worldwide - the seminar provides valuable information to respond to Jesus' challenge to Saul on the Road to Damascus, "Why are you persecuting Me?"

A Christian Faith and Freedom donor is providing morning tea and lunch to bless all who are united in protecting Australia’s heritage of freedom.  We look forward to the pleasure of your presence with us.
