CHANGE OF DATE FOR KERFERD ORATION IN BEECHWORTH

The date for this year’s Kerferd Oration in Beechworth with Rev Tim Costello AO has been changed.

The Oration was to have been held at La Trobe Beechworth on Sunday July 19, but it has been moved back two weeks to Sunday, August 2.

The Oration is held in the Kerferd Conference Centre starting at 11am and doors will be open at 10.15am. Organisers are expecting a large crowd similar to last year when more than 750 people turned out to listen to Prof Tim Flannery.

Rev Tim Costello is a leading voice on social justice issues, having spearheaded public debates on gambling, poverty, homelessness, reconciliation and substance abuse.

As CEO of World Vision Tim’s leadership inspired unprecedented generosity in Australia with $100 million raised for World Vision for tsunami relief in 2004.

His passion for justice reaches across political and social divides.

His Oration is on “Community values for a World in Need”.
