A Joyful Christmas to our Christian friends.
Happy Hanukkah to our Jewish friends, December 25 to January 2.
We send our greetings of joy, peace, love and blessings to everyone.
Global events in 2024 have challenged our social cohesion, and yet we have come together in peaceful, meaningful and hopeful ways throughout the year, strengthening interfaith and intercultural relationships and community.
In the spirit of coming together, we offer a video of our Concert of Sacred Music, for your reflection over the Summer. The Concert was produced in partnership with St Michael's Uniting Church, Melbourne, in November 2022.
Sacred music is the profoundest expression of the human spirit that is part of each one of us.
Sacred music symbolises the yearnings for harmony, with oneself and with others.
"There is something in music that transcends and unites. This is evident in the sacred music of every community - music that expresses the universal yearning that is shared by people all over the globe." - H.H. The Dalai Lama, 1998
We hope you enjoy the songs, chants and music of the sacred music practitioners, with special guest William Barton, master musician, and Fred Leone, cultural leader and songman.

All good wishes for safe and Happy Holidays,
Reverend Helen Summers OAM, Director
