This conference is for everyone – young and old, enquirer and ‘old hands’, clergy and lay. Everyone will be encouraged in faith as we see large numbers of people from our parishes gather in the Christchurch Boys’ High auditorium. We will learn and be inspired about prayer and discipleship – bring your enquiring friends and family! "
