Special Events
In addition, a number of special events are organised each year.
On Easter Monday, we had a picnic lunch at Wollomombi Falls and walked down to the river and back. There'll be pictures here as soon as someone emails them to me. (In my enthusiasm for getting the food organised, I forgot to take a camera!!)
On Friday 8 August we will be running the second annual Faith and Environment Seminar. This year's topic is Water in Science and Faith - a look at the Murray-Darling Basin, One of the speakers will be Rev David Reichardt, whose PhD thesis is on an ecotheological reading of how humans have affected the Murray-Darling basin waterways. His topic is "Ears to hear: An Ecotheological Field Study of Uniting Churchgoers in the Murray-Darling Basin". David is involved with the Uniting Church's Uniting Earthweb. The other speaker is Dr Darren Ryder from Ecosystem Management at UNE. His topic is "Using science to underpin sustainable water resources management in the Murray-Darling Basin". There will be time for discussion. The seminar will be presented twice - at 3.30 pm at the Uniting Church in Rusden Street, followed by a soup and damper tea, and at 7 pm in the Gallery, Earle Page College, followed by supper. There is no charge, but donations to help cover costs would be appreciated. More information about the speakers and their presentations is now available.
