At Melbourne VIC 3000
The Jewish Christian Muslim Association of Australia (JCMA) invites you to:
Kindness & Love in a Time of Separation | Perspectives From The Three Abrahamic Faiths
Date: Sunday 9 August 2020 Time: 2pm to 5:15pm
Location: Online webinar
We have invited six amazing speakers from the Abrahamic faith communities to participate in two panel discussions reflecting on the effects of COVID-19 on our communities and the challenges and lessons learned.
Program
Session 1 - 2.00pm to 3.15pm Grassroots reflections
In a moderated panel discussion with grassroot community leaders we will reflect on the many ways in which community is affected by physical separation. What are the range of problems presented during this time of separation? What sort of long-term changes might this have on faith and on faith communities? What sort of provision is there in the different faith traditions that has helped to cope, maintain, and nurture each community.
Session 2 - 3.30pm to 4.45pm Faith Leaders reflections
Three leaders reflect on how something we all take for granted, coming together in prayer and worship in a physical space, has been impacted by these times of social distancing. Has it created only anxiety and feelings of isolation or have we seen manifestations of love and kindness.
