Spirituality in Western Australia

Abstract

This feature draws from the one-day public forum on "Spirituality in Western Australia" organised in conjunction with the AASR Conference in Perth in September 1989. The first item by the convenor of the Forum introduces the subject and event. Additional written contributions were received from Martin Wiltshire, Brian Kyme, Josephine Griffiths and Enid Adam. The remaining selections are extracts from tapes of the proceedings, courtesy of Prudence Petford of ABC Radio and transcribed by Jan Bide of the School of Humanities at Murdoch University. Considerable adaptation was required and the Features Editor, Paul Stange, is responsible for errors which may have crept in. Though touching the range of spiritual life in WA, neither the Forum nor these contributions have attempted to be comprehensive or representative.
