Myanmar: Faith, Fellowship and the Future

Flag of Myanmar
Faith, Fellowship and the Future is a Webinar on Myanmar organised by Pax Christi and friends on Sunday 17th October, 2021 from 3.00-5.00pm (AEDT) . This will be an online event.


Solidarity is what many in Myanmar are seeking as they face renewed challenges and trauma. Limited freedoms were enjoyed in recent years. Sadly, February this year saw full military control restored. How can the Christian community in Australia support our neighbour in the Asia Pacific?

This Webinar engages the church community and others interested. As various groups study ways forward, it is appropriate that Australian churches do the same. What actions can we take, on our own, with others, while building on work already done? The Burmese community here can also guide us. This Webinar will hopefully motivate us.
