The Eremos Council
The work of Eremos is guided by elected Council members. They meet approximately 6 times per year on Zoom, coordinating the teams who oversee various Eremos projects such as the magazine, events, retreats, Books for groups, regional groups, website and membership. Eremos Council members live in various parts of NSW and the ACT.

I am grateful for the way that Eremos and its members have enriched my journey of life and faith.

John Foulcher EREMOS Magazine Editor I’m attracted to Eremos’s sensible, experiential approach to Christianity and spirituality in general. It’s an intelligent, thoughtful contribution to our spiritual discourse in this country; it’s thorough but not esoteric, sensitive rather than dogmatic.

Linda TurtonArchivist Eremos has been the forum and community in which I can explore all sorts of avenues, both nurturing and challenging, that pertain to the life of the spirit – body that is me. Eremos continues to provide a space where I can honestly give voice to my experiences, thoughts and doubts, and engage deeply in the streams of religion and identity in Australia, in the context of our world. I have found Eremos members to be open minded, compassionate people who care for each other, our society and our natural environment…I have made great friendships.
