Dear friends of Christians in Academia (the Simeon Network). We would like to invite you to our annual national conference- CITE: Saturday November 23rd- Tuesday 26th, held in parallel with the AFES NTE.

This year the conference will be held in Melbourne, at the Belgrave Heights Convention Centre.

As well as being fed with world-class teaching – Professor Graham Cole on the practice of doing faithful theology & Professor Christopher Watkin, ‘storyboarding your discipline,’ - there will be an opportunity to meet and be mutually encouraged by fellow Christian academics from all over the country.

There is a part-time option if you just want to come to the weekend program, or even commute to picturesque Belgrave Heights for a day or two.

Details on registration and videos of people who have attended past conferences can be found here: https://nte.org.au/cite/

Hope to see you there!
