Simeon Network National Launch

The Simeon Network is a group of Christian academics and post- grad students at Australian universities who seek to make a stand for Christ. They're not necessarily doing Christian, theological research; they just want to unashamedly demonstrate they're Christian commitment while they teach, research & study.

The network's name comes from Charles Simeon. He was a minister at Trinity Church, Cambridge, and a resident and fellow of Kings College Cambridge, in the late 1700s-early 1800s. He evangelized, discipled and trained students in the days before organised student ministry like AFES. He was one of the founders of the Church Missionary Society.

The Simeon Network's National Launch will be on Saturday, 6 February 2010, at the Ryde Anglican Centre, 42 Church Street, Ryde. 6:30pm for 7:00pm dinner. Cost: $65 per person, $45 for students. Professor Michael Spence, the Vice-Chancellor of Sydney University, will be the speaker. RSVP by Monday, 1 February here.
