St Thomas More
The St Thomas More's Forum is an initiative by the St Thomas More Parish in Campbell, ACT, Australia. It aims:
- to promote thought, discussion and debate on the challenges of faith in the workplace, family and public life in the modern world.
- to recognise the significance of the life of St Thomas More for those in influential positions in today's society and who draw on his example in their public lives.
- to develop a networking environment where stimulating speakers with a national or international perspective inspire discussion and debate on topical issues of the day that are central to faith.
- to build a focus on the capacity and location of the St Thomas More's community to invite speakers of influence who are either located in or visit the National Capital.
