On Wednesday 14 August, the staff were blessed to spend the day exploring our Biblical tradition and the Magisterium around Catholic Social Teachings: Recalling, Recognising, and Reinvigorating the Reign of God.
These sessions draw on key texts in the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures that focus on God's presence in the world. We also paid attention to Fratelli Tutti, which calls for a new kind of solidarity to address the crises of the contemporary world.
This day was led by Professor Peta Goldburg RSM, a sister of Mercy and current congregational leader of the Brisbane Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy. She was Foundation Chair of Religious Education at Australian Catholic University and works extensively with Catholic Education authorities across Australia. Her most recent publications include Faith-Based Identity & Curriculum in Catholic Schools (Routledge, 2020) and Religion: Contexts and Expressions (Cambridge University Press, 2020).
