Established in 1998 as a partnership between Charles Sturt University and the Anglican Diocese of Canberra, the Centre works with interfaith and ecumenical bodies including the National Council of Churches in Australia.
The Centre is located on beautiful Ngunnawal Country in the national capital, Canberra, on five hectares with views of Lake Burley Griffin and Parliament House. The grounds include a Chapel, Pavilion and offices as well as a gathering place, the Bible Garden and artworks and monuments. Its facilities are available for hire.
The Centre regularly hosts events that bring together Australia’s leading politicians, thinkers, activists and artists, offering hospitality to people of every faith or background who are in search of wisdom for the common good.
We look forward to welcoming you.
