The biennial conference of the Association for Reflective Practice in Theological Education (ARPTE) will be held at Uniting College for Leadership & Theology in Adelaide from 18-20 November 2024.
This year’s conference reflects our change of name and focuses on reflective practice across all disciplines and interests in theological education. ARPTE's previous president, Richard Trist, will be our special guest delivering his keynote presentation, alongside three other invited keynote speakers. Abstracts for workshop-style presentations are invited and can be emailed to reflectivepracticearpte@gmail.com (by September 30th).
The conference is intentionally designed with space for reflection built into the programme, and submitted presentations will include substantial time for collaborative reflection. In-person attendance is particularly encouraged, but an option for attendance and presentation via Zoom is also available.

Dr Rosemary Dewerse
Rosemary is a practical theologian whose own reflective practice has been and continues to take her on a journey through worldview change as a result of living and working in different cultures than her own, and particularly with indigenous elders – Māori in Aotearoa NZ, and Adnyamathanha and Kukabrak Ngarrindjeri in South Australia. Recent experience and training in Regenerative Development is offering complementary possibilities for wholistic, co-creating, reflexive practice focused on community flourishing.
