The interplay of faith, education, and values has re-emerged as a critical issue in the formation of a healthy and civil society, and our state schools play an important role in forming the attitudes and values of young people.

The Religious Instruction providers in Queensland invite you to a public lecture by Prof. Zehavit Gross on the theme faith, values and education; how they all connect. The Lecture will be held at the Brisbane Hebrew Congregation , 98 Margaret Street Brisbane City on 21 November at 10 am Prof Gross is the UNESCO chair holder for Values, Education, Tolerance, and Peace at the School of Education, Bar Ilan University, Israel. RSVP by 19/11/2018 to event@ucaqld.com.au

Having someone we love die is one of the most stressful things that happens in life, whether that death has been expected or not; whether the person dies at home or in a hospital, aged care facility or hospice. While there will probably be someone who can tell you what the next steps are if they have died in an institution, having them die at home is a little different, and there is not usually anyone to give you guidance. An unexpected death heightens this anxiety even further.

Not knowing what to do, or how to go about organising the funeral, adds to the newly bereaved person’s levels of anxiety – something they don’t need at such a time.

If you would like to be prepared for any such eventuality you are invited to a free information morning at Merthyr Rd Uniting Church, 52 Merthyr Rd., New Farm on Tuesday, 27th November from 10.00a.m. – 12.00p.m. (includes morning tea)
