Rafaa Antoun, who died at the end of December 2008, aged 42, was well known, loved and respected in the local community. She was an active worker in the field of ethnic, interfaith and women’s issues on a voluntary basis. To perpetuate her memory the Christchurch Interfaith Council has decided to hold an annual lecture in her name and to focus on issues which were dear to her heart.
