Friday night (7-9:30pm)

Pre-conference

The Senders’ Dinner is an opportunity for people to have an exclusive, lovely dinner with multiple speakers from the CAS Perth conference in a private setting. Speakers will rotate around tables after each course so guests can get to know more of them while breaking bread.

A special feature of this bonus event is there are no recordings and everything is strictly off the record! Whether it’s a former Prime Minister as the special guest speaker or a probing interview with another public figure, dinner guests will be enthralled with the light programming as well as their table companions throughout the evening.

The Senders’ Dinner is a fundraiser to help send Church And State  conference and content further around Australia and the internet. Existing and new Senders are entitled to a 25% discount on conference and dinner tickets. Become a Sender today!

Saturday (9:30am-5pm)

Church And State Perth conference

• Dave Pellowe – The Gospel, the Culture and Politics
  There is a common confusion in the world and too many Christians about how the Gospel – the Good News – relates to and interacts with politics. Far from necessarily separate, Scripture clearly shows the societal decay and eventual destruction when people reject Christianity.
• Maryka Groenewald – Building a Just Society on Biblical Foundations
  The relevance of a Biblical foundation to a free and just society has been mocked and ignored – to Australia’s great detriment! The Bible is transformative – along with its teachings on hope, Truth and life. It is time once again to weigh all the differences between life and death, and choose life.
• Dr Sherry Sufi – Australia On Trial: Accusations and Defence
  Australia’s critics have long argued we’re a racist country built on stolen land that doesn’t have a way of life. All we’ve done in response is to dismiss them as ‘wokesters’ and ‘snowflakes’ instead of rebutting their arguments. That’s the gap my new book has helped to fill.
• Peter Abetz – The Real W.A. Election Issues
  Politicians and parties will often campaign on issues that are either favoured by the media or carefully chosen to avoid upsetting very vocal minority groups. If motivated by loving our neighbour, what issues should Christian voters consider the most important to Western Australia?

Catered Fellowship Lunch (11:30am to 12:45pm)

• Hon Nick Goiran MLC – Responding to WA’s Darkest Laws
  Dark laws are made whenever fundamental principles are ignored. In today’s challenging times, the question for responsible citizens is: how can we best respond?
• Rev Dr Campbell Markham – The Tide Is Turning But Are You Ready?
  The Twenty-First Century attack upon Christian faith and values in the West has left entire generations starved of meaning and purpose. The young are starting to cry out; a surprising resurgence of interest in Christianity has begun. Do we have the courage and conviction to lead these lost generations to Jesus Christ in His Word?
• Ps Jordan Thyer – Why Fathers Are Indispensable
  Fathers (and father figures) play a unique role in the lives of children, their families, and society at large. But sadly many fathers don’t appreciate just how much they matter and how much their kids yearn for their time, attention, and affection. What happens to children without good father figures? And what happens to societies where men neglect being meaningfully involved in their children’s lives and prioritising them above work, career or hobbies? Join us in thinking through the valuable and essential roles fathers can play in serving their families, churches, and communities by showing up and putting the wellbeing of others before themselves.
• Michelle Pearse – We absolutely have to turn this around
  It’s a big shock to see how far our nation has progressed on the Left agenda; how aggressive the push has become. We have to just work together to get this done from the grassroots right up into us working directly into Parliament.

Catered Fellowship Afternoon Tea (2:45pm to 3:30pm)

• Dr Augusto Zimmermann – Constituting a Christian Commonwealth
  What inspired and motivated our founding fathers? What did they believe? What were they trying to achieve for this nation’s future? What considerations were being debated and discussed in the Constitutional Conventions prior to the federation of the Commonwealth of Australia in the late 1800s?
• Panel / Questions and Answers
