The Bishops Commission for Christian Unity and Inter-religious Dialogue invites all Catholics who are engaged in ecumenical and interfaith activities to attend National Conference for Ecumenical and Interfaith Works – ‘Walking Together’ 2025
Friday 30 May 6.00pm to 8.30pm – Prayer, dinner and guest speaker
Saturday 31 May 9.00am to 5.00pm – Plenary session, followed by workshops on the Council of Nicaea and Nostra Aetate; and opportunities to discuss issues and develop networks.
Venue: Mary MacKillop Place, North Sydney.
In 2025 we celebrate the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, which proclaimed the Nicene Creed we recite on Sundays. This confession of faith has served as a point of Christian unity for 1700 years. We are also celebrating the 60th anniversary of Vatican II’s watershed document, Nostra Aetate, which transformed the Church’s relations with other religions. It affirmed all that is true and holy in them as signs of God’s presence.
The Plenary Council of Australia, the Synod of Bishops, and Pope Francis are all calling Catholics to walk synodally – with each other, with other Christians, with believers in other religions, with all people of goodwill; and together to promote peace, justice, harmony, the common good of society, and care for our common home, as pilgrims journeying together towards the fullness of truth and life.
