In this conference, we will explore issues related to the Church as a prophetic voice in Australian Society. Some themes include:

- How, through their public presence, have the church/churches acted prophetically, both domestically and/or internationally, in ways that challenge and critique the surrounding culture in the light of gospel values?

- What alternative approaches have they offered in relation to range of issues, e.g. welfare, justice, equality, social inclusion, racism, the common good vs individual rights etc.?

- What changes in political, theological, sociological stances have driven different approaches over time?

- What have been the pluses and minuses, gains and losses resulting from these changes?

- Has the church failed to act prophetically at some times and in some circumstances, and what has driven this failure and resulted from it?

- How is the church preparing to maintain/strengthen its prophetic witness in the future?
