Price cap: The National Spiritual Assembly has stipulated a price cap per family of three adults. This is a total of $840 for the Summer School. Actual costs are listed below. If cost is a barrier to your participation, please contact your Local Spiritual Assembly about deputisation.
Last year we were so heartened to see the generosity of friends who offered to assist others through deputisation to help fellow brethren and friends of the Faith to attend. We trust that despite cost-of-living increases that this love and generosity continues to flow. Our Christchurch Spiritual Assembly wishes to emphasise that the friends should pay what they can towards the costs, as we do not wish for any friend to be deprived of being able to attend the Summer School due to financial barriers. Friends can consider being of service as a contribution to the Summer School. If you have a service to offer, please reply to this email, we would love to hear from you. If you have fruit trees at your home and can bring fruit with you as a koha, we would love to hear from you. Please email [email protected] if you can help in any way.
