The Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture (ACC&C) at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Canberra held a special one-day conference on ecumenism, Handing on the Vision, on Wednesday 9 September. A special ceremony at the conference inaugurated the Centre for Ecumenical Studies (CES) within the ACC&C. Reverend Professor James Haire, AM, the Executive Director of the ACC&C, welcomed this inauguration, describing the mission of ‘handing on the ecumenical vision’ as “part of the ACC&C’s core business”. In his presentation at the conference, Professor Haire spoke of giving reality to the ecumenical vision in the way that theological issues are addressed, saying, “It is absolutely important to focus on the central aspects of faith that all Christians hold in common”. A record of the inauguration was signed by Professor Haire, Reverend Professor Robert Gribben, the Chair of the Board of the CES, and the Reverend Tara Curlewis, the General Secretary of the National Council of Churches in Australia.
