Description:
Saturday 14th June, starting at noon AEST, is the Sea of Faith in Australia’s Annual General Meeting for 2025. We need as many free thinkers to join us as possible. SOFiA is a network of Australians interested in openly exploring issues of life and meaning through reason, philosophy, ethics, religion, science and the arts. We want to explore for ourselves what we can believe and how we can find meaning in our lives. SOFiA has no philosophical or religious position beyond a desire to ‘openly explore’: it is a forum for discussing ideas, experiences and possibilities. Any who find themselves in sympathy with our purpose – exploring life and meaning in an open and non-dogmatic manner – are most welcome to join us.
Rev. Dr. Paul Tonson has over 15 years ministry in the Uniting Church in Australia, Paul identified with the progressive Christian community and with an agnostic stance towards Christian dogma. Paul is committed to dialogue with other voices, in order to open his beliefs and his life to the test of authenticity which can be most effectively offered not by a fellow believer but by the Other.
