Common Grace supporters and volunteers are invited to a Sydney-based event to explore how our movement can actively see grace and generosity lived out in our church, our society, and in our public policy.
Can a diverse community of Christians create space to listen deeply, love unconditionally, and stand for justice? Can our faith, passion and creativity spark social transformation in these lands now called Australia? Join us for a night of sharing our Common Grace on common ground, and where we consider how we can advocate a Christ-shaped vision for the common good.
