Our Profession: Christian vocation and law

To tatou mahi: To te Karaitiana nei tu me te ture

God calls, we respond. That’s the Christian vocation, in life and in law.

Christian Lawyers of Aotearoa New Zealand are delighted to invite you to join us at our annual dinner and conference on Thursday 14 and Friday 15 August. We’ll be exploring themes of identity, calling, and context with inspiring speakers including:

Bishop Te Kitohi Pikaahu from Te Pīhopatanga o Te Tai Tokerau, who will encourage us to start by finding our identity in Christ;

Andrew Coster, who will offer personal reflections on discerning and pursuing vocation as a servant and a leader, drawing on his experience in public service roles;

Practitioners and panellists including Zenas Kim, Gael Goulter, and Steven Moe, who will share their stories of integrating faith and profession from the frontlines of legal practice, encourage us to think about how to engage with our current context in light of our beliefs, and equip us with practical tools and tips.

More speakers will be announced, but why not get your tickets now and take advantage of our early-bird pricing?
