The Conference will run Friday, Feb. 21st from 5-9pm and Saturday, Feb. 22nd from 8am-6:30pm at the JW Marriott (22-26 Albert Street) in Auckland. You can register for free here.

The International Center for Law & Religion Studies at Brigham Young University Law School (United States) in partnership with The University of Waikato Te Piringa - Faculty of Law (New Zealand), The Religious Freedom and Human Dignity Initiative at Brigham Young University–Hawaii (United States), and the J.

The goal of the conference is to provide an opportunity for religious clergy, governmental officials, academic scholars, and civil society leaders to expand our understanding of freedom of religion or belief in New Zealand and the broader South Pacific region, in conjunction with the opening of the new Auckland, New Zealand temple for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
