‘Hope is our song’ – Peace, Justice, Creation, is the theme title for a three day conference in Palmerston North hosted by the NZ Hymnbook Trust. For more information check the NZ Hymnbook Trust website.

The focus of the conference is on the key 21st century public issues, and how the indigenous hymnwriters of New Zealand are writing hymns that address these issues. In so doing, the New Zealand hymnwriters are making a significant contribution to the global search for hymns relevant to contemporary realities.

Keynote presenters include: Clive Pearson, Principal of the Uniting Church Theological College, Australia; Colin Gibson, NZ hymnwriter; Jim and Jean Strathdee, USA.
