IAF Literary Dinner, Monday, 24 August 2026
Please join us for our July Literary Dinner for 2026 sponsored by Wakefield Press
Our next speaker is Robert Kempe. His book 'Missionaries, Madness and Miracles' tells the intriguing but often tragic tale of the first missionaries Hermann Kempe, Wilhelm Schwarz and Louis Schulze who established the Hermannsburg mission (now called Ntaria) in Central Australia. This is much more than a story of the missionaries. Kempe refers to several 'interweaving stories': the Arrarnta people whom they served, the longĀ-suffering wives who followed their husbands to this unknown land, the early Lutherans of South Australia and the notorious policemen Wurmbrand and Willshire.
TICKETS: $40 members, $45 non members includes a choice of main course, a quiz and an entertaining speaker.
The Independent Arts Foundation thanks ticket buyers in advance for paying the Trybooking ticket and purchasing fees.
