The CJ Wright event in 2009 had Ched Meyers as the speaker.
VCCE moved to Tabor College in Ringwood where they had been given space. The VCCE Board remained independent of the Tabor College Board.
Social Questions Commission
2008
Dr Mark Zirnsak was Chair, with representatives from the Churches of Christ, Uniting, Anglican and Catholic Churches.
A large part of the Commission’s work was briefing the Heads of Churches for their meeting with the Premier and working with them on setting the agenda. The Commission raised concerns with the Heads of Churches meeting such as the exploitation of workers making goods for Christian speciality stores.
The Commission was involved in the production and distribution of the ICAPPI kit. They assisted with the speaking tour of the head of Pax Christi International. They worked on the 2009 Palm Sunday event.
There was disappointment at the inability to come to agreement on some issues such as the denial of freedom of religion under the new abortion legislation.
