Welcome to the Fellowship of the Round Table (F.O.R.T) |
F.O.R.T. is a long –established discussion and study group. Our aim is to raise political/cultural consciousness and to network for creative social change by holding regular Round Table Forums. F.O.R.T. has no links or connections with any political, business, social or religious organisation, whatsoever, All funds are spent on printed/internet information and public meetings.
We believe in the importance of culture, individuality and moral integrity and in the dignity, value and liberty of each person.
Our Motto: ‘We serve Truth, not consensus’.
Epictetus, the Greek stoic philosopher of the first century, said, “it is better by yielding to truth, to conquer opinion, than by yielding to opinion, to be defeated by truth”.
F.O.R.T. organises regular evening Forums at Parliament House Sydney, inviting high profile guest Speakers to address current, cutting edge Topics in the beautiful Jubilee Room. So join us and enjoy the talks, prepare your questions for our Speakers, spread the word and keep your eye on this website for details of our next Forum.
Visit ‘Past public Forums’ page, for further information on past Forum Topics/Speakers..
