Achieving spirituality at work

16 November 2005

Monash Community Services will next month complete its 2005 program of networking events with a staff breakfast and a discussion on 'Spirituality at work'.

The university chaplaincy coordinator, Reverend Barry Rogers, said the breakfast would allow interested people to hear about the issues involved in spirituality and to discuss their own ideas.

"I am sure this multi-faith focus will be very interesting and challenging for us all," Dr Rogers said.

Two breakfasts titled: 'A critique of Victoria's Racial and Religious Tolerance Act', and 'Islamic communities in Melbourne: spiritual needs and supports', were held earlier this year.

"The early morning get-togethers have been well patronised, and we expect to continue the networking breakfasts next year," Dr Rogers said.

The guest speaker for the 'Spirituality at the workplace' breakfast will be Mr Mohamed Mohideen, a lecturer in the Department of Microbiology, who is also a member of the Monash University Mosque Committee, president of the United Sri Lankan Muslim Association of Australia and prison chaplain for Muslim prisoners in Fulham Correction Centre.

He will speak about general principles of Islam and issues relating to religious support and understanding.

The breakfast will be held at the Monash Staff Club at 8 am on Tuesday 6 December. The cost will be $20. For inquiries or bookings, email judy.bowman@adm.monash.edu.au by Tuesday 1 December.
