Organised by Pax Christi International, this free webinar is for parishes and all those interested in exploring the vision of a world at peace as outlined by Pope Francis in his Apostolic Exhortation, Fratelli Tutti.
Guest speakers:
- The vision of Fratelli Tutti – Fr Kevin Lenehan, Master, Catholic Theological College, University of Divinity
- Collaboration, not Confrontation among faiths – Sr Jan Barnett, RSJ, Josephite Justice Network
- Reflecting on Australia’s Relations in Southeast Asia – Rev. Andy Tiver, Uniting Church in Australia, Co-Chair Philippine-Australia Solidarity Association (PASA)
When Pope Francis speaks, as he did with Laudato Si', he often reaches out beyond the body of the Catholic Church to many others. Pope Francis challenges us all radically to think not as isolated nations or groups, but as interconnected in the ‘one human family’. We need to exercise our shared humanity, irrespective of origin, nationality, ethnicity and religion; to build bridges, not walls. Dialogue is a necessity, not an option. We must seek ways of working with people of other faiths and goodwill for peace and reconciliation in the world, as individuals and as part of larger groupings, and society.
