The focus of the 2023 APTO conference will be migration, which affects millions of people today. Some migrants leave their countries of origin in search of a better life and economic opportunities. Others leave their countries by necessity because of war, conflict, and natural disasters. Some for other reasons.
How do we welcome the stranger in our midst? How do we ensure they have what is needed to lead a decent life? How do we right the wrongs of the past?
This conference explores the range of theological, cultural, ethical, historical and spiritual issues associated with migration in the region of Oceania. All the disciplines of practical theology will be brought to bear on both an analysis of the issues, and point the way to effective solutions.
Please contact the APTO president, Dr Zachariah Duke via email (president@apto.asn.au) if you have any questions about the 2023 APTO conference.
We look forward to welcoming you in Dunedin!
