This book, a collection of essays, is a contribution to the enterprise of dialogue between theology and other disciplines on specific issues of culture and public policy in an Australian context. The essays arise out of a conference sponsored by the ATF and held in Canberra in September 2000 under the theme of 'Trinitarian Theology in the Antipodes'. Held over three days, the conference brought together theologians from different ecclesial backgrounds, scholars from various disciplines as well as contributions from indigenous church leaders, poets and young people.'
