Spirituality Mingary Program

When: Sunday 30 June, 12:00pm
Where: Waratah Room, Level 1, St Michael's Place

Only the start of something special.

Please join Rev Peter Burnham and Richard Siegersma as they explore the opportunities to enhance the spiritual dimension in our lives.

The decline of church membership and attendance over the past century does not reflect a diminishing need for people to have a spiritual dimension in their lives.

St Michael??s has always promoted spiritual wellbeing and Mingary was a first step to providing alternative ways to nourish the spirit and soul.

Spirituality has a positive impact on wellbeing.

Dr Lisa Miller wrote in the New York Times Best Seller ??The Spiritual Child?? ??
??Science now tells us that this spiritual faculty is inborn, fundamental to the human constitution, central in our physiology and psychology. Nothing radically lowered the risk for depression like a shared spirituality. Spirituality links brain, mind, and body.?

All Welcome
