Events & Conferences
The Christian Research Association regularly organises and participates in conferences, seminars, round-tables and other events.
We have a unique capacity for bringing together people and organisations from a broad cross-section of the church, religion and society to discuss important issues about religion and spirituality and to collaborate on projects which affect Australian society.

Communities of Meaning
How Churches and Community Organisations Contribute to Meaning in Life for Retirees
Research indicates that, in general, people who have a strong sense of purpose and direction in life actually live longer and have better physical and mental health. They have something to live for, and it helps to keep them going (Schnell, 2021, p. 147ff). [Philip Hughes, Pointers Vol 35. No.3, September 2025]
