By Conference Committee
21 to 24 October 2022
After two years of virtual conferences, we are optimistic and delighted to invite you to this year’s annual ANZURA conference which is being held as a face-to-face event in October of this year in the stunning tourist destination of Port Arthur in Tasmania. So dust off those unused travel bags and treat yourselves to a long weekend of inspiring experiences and socialising with kindred spirits.
The venue has changed since our first announcement. Instead of holding the conference at the Fox & Hounds Inn we will now be meeting at Stewarts Bay Lodge which is set in a stunning waterfront location and is nestled in a world heritage listed national park. It is within walking distance to Port Arthur’s Historic Site. Stewarts Bay Lodge offers a variety of quality self-contained cabin and chalet accommodation with restaurant, function rooms and recreation facilities all surrounded by a white-sand beach, crystal clear ocean waters and beautiful woodlands.
¶ Theme: Walking the ROPE – An Invitation to Intimacy with God
The ‘ROPE’ in the theme title is an acronym for the Religion Of Personal Experience so the full meaning of the theme title translates to ‘Walking the Religion of Personal Experience – An Invitation to Intimacy with God’. We hope that this will be a truly enriching spiritual experience for all who attend, either in person or via Zoom. We will be talking about the ultimate human experience.
The Urantia Book is replete with awe-inspiring quotes reminding us that personal, intimate fellowship with God is within reach of us all!
It is high time that man had a religious experience so personal and so sublime that it could be realized and expressed only by “feelings that lie too deep for words.” UB 99:5.9
¶ Venue
Stewarts Bay Lodge, 6955 Arthur Highway, Port Arthur, Tasmania. Accommodation will be in a variety of quality self-contained cabin and chalet type dwellings with restaurant, function rooms and recreation facilities all surrounded by a white-sand beach, crystal clear ocean waters and beautiful woodlands.
If you’re thinking of incorporating the conference with a family holiday Stewarts Bay Lodge is the ideal base from which to explore Tasmania’s famous Tasman Peninsula with its world-renowned historic site and its many natural wonders that delight families, tourists and nature lovers.
