The annual event brought the community of churches together. It allowed conversations to take place informally and to catch up with each other. The event allowed many to hear about some of the Council’s work.  The Revd Dr. James Collins OAM introduced and launched titled, “Language and Spirit: Exploring Languages, Religions, and Spirituality in Australia Today”. The book was coedited by Dr. Robyn Moloney and Fr Shenouda Mansour. The Council received a number of messages and feedback received on the night, and after the event, which were positive and encouraging.  The Annual Fund-Raising Dinner draws a number of people from all over Sydney and Regional NSW.  The Council thanks the Principal and host, St Paul’s Anglican Church, her community, the church leaders who attended, the sponsors,  and friends of the Council.
