Sydney Men Make Statement
07 November 2008
The Hillsong Men's Conference in Sydney, Australia, brought together men from across the city and the nation for a two-day intensive teaching and inspiration experience.
Led by Pastor Brian Houston and his team, the conference celebrated manhood at a time when many men are feeling under pressure as to their identity and role in the community.
Mal Fletcher was one of the two special guest speakers at the event. After the event, he said: "It's wonderful to see more than 4000 men come together in one place, with one focus -- to take responsibility for the future of their families, businesses and the world in general."
"Some social commentators, including some ardent feminists, are saying that there has been anti-male agenda in much of our society and that it has now gone too far. They say it is confusing men so they no longer know what is expected of them."
"I can tell you, after conferences like this one, there are also a great many men who are quite sure of their calling and destiny under God. The men I met here are committed to taking their rightful place, as servers and leaders, within their families and communities."
"This was a truly significant conference and I think it will live long in my mind in the minds of probably everyone there."
