St Peter’s, Eastern Hill Breakfast Conversations

St Peter’s Anglican Church, East Melbourne, in conjunction with the Good Business Project, is launching a series of breakfast conversations focused on social issues of interest to the business community.  The inaugural conversation looks at the economic contribution of migration to Australia.  It arises from a speech given by Mr Frank Lowy AM, when he addressed the Australian Multicultural Council.  He provides a compelling personal example of what migrants are able to do.  You can see his presentation at www.dss.gov.au The conversation will be led by Professor Robert Wood of the Melbourne Business School’s Centre for Ethical Leadership @ Ormond College.

 

We are invited to join in the discussion:

Please add the names of those whom you would like to be remembered at the altar to the list at the back of the church or e-mail their names to me.
