Book Synopsis From North to South by : Helen F. Bergin
Download or read book From North to South written by Helen F. Bergin and published by ATF Press. This book was released on 2013-08-31 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From North to South brings together the interests in Edward Schillebeeckx of eight theologians from Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia. In each chapter, theologians dialogue from a southern context with one of Schillebeeckx's themes or methods. Themes such as suffering and negative contrast experiences, political holiness, ecclesiology, God and the cross, resurrection and hope, and theology and culture are addressed. Attention to Schillebeeckx's hermeneutics lies at the heart of several chapters but is generally woven throughout. Contributors bring their particular southern contexts into serious dialogue with Schillebeeckx's northern thought. The book concludes with a response to the south from North American theologian, Kathleen McManus OP. In short, the book witnesses to the ongoing challenge and stimulation of Edward Schillebeeckx's theology.

Book Synopsis Mary MacKillop 1873 by : Sheila McCreanor
Download or read book Mary MacKillop 1873 written by Sheila McCreanor and published by ATF Press. This book was released on 2017-12-31 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the sixth collection to be published. It focusses on the time not long after Mary MacKillop's excommunication when she was encouraged to go to Rome to seek approval for the Rule of the Sisters of St Joseph. Mary set off alone, travelling incognito, with little money and no knowledge of where to stay or how she would travel. Her letters and her diary during 1873 show her amazing trust in the Providence of God as well as her very human feelings of loneliness, her worry about the Sisters back in Australia and her delight in visiting the holy places especially St Peter's Basilica. Little did Mary MacKillop dream that in 2010 thousands would gather in St Peter's Square to see her photo hanging from the Basilica as she was proclaimed a Saint by Pope Benedict XVI.
Book Synopsis Luminous Simplicity by : Romaldo Giurgola
Download or read book Luminous Simplicity written by Romaldo Giurgola and published by Macmillan Education AU. This book was released on 2007-11-30 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International multi-award winning architect, Romaldo Giurgoila (b. Rome, 1920) is best known in Australia as the principal architect of the New Parliament House in Canberra. His latest major work is St. Patricks Cathedral, Parramatta, a new Cathedral complex which incorporates the old 1857 building which was destroyed by fire in 1996. The opening of the new Cathedral was celebrated on 29 November 2003. For Romaldo Giurgola this project provided an opportunity to reflect on his lifes work and toincorporate in the buildings, and the art works which were specially commissioned for them, the architectural principles he values most. These have been developed over many decades from the time of his education in Italy through to academic post and architectural projects undertaken in the USA, Europe, Australia and Asia. He regards architecture as a symbolic expression of peoples cultural identities and aspirations. With this in mind, he has created in Parramatta a singular masterpiece characterised by its simplicity, serenity and contemplative character. This beautifully written and illustrated publication provides eloquent insights into the art of architecture and Romaldo Giurgolas spatial philosophy.
Book Synopsis Evolution of a Movement by : Mary Cresp
Download or read book Evolution of a Movement written by Mary Cresp and published by ATF Press. This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is of course a story of how a religious order gave new expression to its distinctive values and tradition in establishing a wider community of lay associates. The Sisters of St Joseph from the outset were practical, adaptable and relatively informal - focused on meeting needs where they saw them and stretching themselves thin to do so. Mary Cresp captures these Josephite values beautifully as she unfolds the development of the order's Associates/Companions. But it's not a book just about the Josephites. It's much more - a case study in how Catholic communities in several countries have responded to the challenges of the Second Vatican Council and to changing times. For that it's well worth a read. Peter Cahalan PhD - formerly CEO of the History Trust of South Australia. In her history of Josephite Associates over 40 years, Mary Cresp rsj informs her scholarly experience and thoroughness with documentation and contributions from more than 200 people who were themselves involved in creating that story. She describes the evolution of Josephite Associates to Josephite Companions as a "story of relationships". It is a story with lessons about relationships and formation, but also about persistence of vision, about living with unresolved questions, about fostering the emergence of new leadership and above all about walking together with joy in a shared baptismal mission. Anne Benjamin, Honorary Professor, Australian Catholic University. Consultant to Biographical Dictionary of Australian Catholic Educators.

Book excerpt: Australia's First Saint.Many words have already been written about Mary Mackillop and many more will follow. This text provides insight into the life and work of a woman whom so many Australians now recognize one of their own - an ‘Aussie Battler' in the richest sense of the term. In the face of poverty, hardship, misunderstanding and powerful opposition, she remained faithful to her vision and to her calling to serve people.The Story of Mary MacKillop will appeal to young people, providing them with sufficient background for appreciating the life and contribution of one woman to her family, her church and her nation. Mary can be viewed as a pioneer woman, an educationalist, a feminist, a political realist, a champion of the underprivileged. The list of her attributes, like her contribution to the rights of marginalized Australians is a lengthy one.Each one of us has a genuine need for authentic role models to encourage us and inspire us. In Mary MacKillop, we are presented with a very ordinary Australian woman whose story is a touchstone for so many of this country and therein lies both her accessibility and her appeal, Immigrant parents, difficult family circumstances, financial hardships, hopes put on hold --- these are some of the aspects of her life that we recognize - if not in ourselves then in the lives of others we know.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This night not only marked the end to the drought, but also the end to the long-held secret we'd kept hidden under the magnolias. Magnolia, South Carolina, 1980 Austin Foster is barely a teenager when her mama dies giving birth to twins, leaving her to pick up the pieces while holding her six siblings together and doing her best to stop her daddy from retreating into his personal darkness. Scratching out a living on the family's tobacco farm is as tough as it gets. When a few random acts of kindness help to ease the Fosters' hardships, Austin finds herself relying upon some of Magnolia's most colorful citizens for friendship and more. But it's next to impossible to hide the truth about the goings-on at Nolia Farms, and Austin's desperate attempts to save face all but break her. Just when it seems she might have something more waiting for her--with the son of a wealthy local family who she's crushed on for years--her father makes a choice that will crack wide-open the family's secrets and lead to a public reckoning. There are consequences for loving a boy like Vance Cumberland, but there is also freedom in the truth. T. I. Lowe's gritty yet tender and uplifting tale reminds us that a great story can break your heart . . . then heal it in the best possible way.

Download or read book Australians All written by Nadia Wheatley and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I love history because it is story, but the very best thing about this story is that it is not finished. All of us are making history every moment of our lives.' Nadia Wheatley Australians All encompasses the history of our continent from the Ice Age to the Apology, from the arrival of the First Fleet to the Mabo Judgement. Brief accounts of the lives of real young Australians open up this chronological narrative. Some of the subjects of the eighty mini-biographies have become nationally or even internationally famous. Others were legends in their own families and communities. Meticulously researched, beautifully written and highly readable, Australians All helps us understand who we are, and how we belong to the land we all share. It also shows us who we might be. 'In Australian histories there is a particular group whose tales and presence and concerns are rarely narrated. These are the children and adolescents. They are depicted as mute sufferers of the decisions of elders (as were the children of the Depression), helpless victims of policy (the Stolen Generations) and the children of the Second World War (of whom I was one). They appear in most writing of history as mere passive accessories to what adults do. But their stories are our stories too, and their stories are our history, and Nadia Wheatley, that great writer, tells that wide-ranging story in a way so imaginative and colourful that it would attract any young person, and make young readers feel that many of their personal struggles have been faced before, by children of the past and present. Nadia has performed an essential service to history and the young.' - Thomas Keneally

Book Synopsis Food Movements Unite! by : Samir Amin
Download or read book Food Movements Unite! written by Samir Amin and published by Food First Books. This book was released on 2011-12-06 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food Movements Unite! Strategies to transform our food systems The present corporate food regime dominating the planet’s food systems is environmentally destructive, financially volatile and socially unjust. Though the regime’s contributions to the planet’s four-fold food-fuel-finance and climate crises are well documented, the “solutions” advanced by our national and global institutions reinforce the same destructive technological path, the same global market fundamentalism, and the same unregulated consolidation of corporate power in the food system that brought us the crisis in the first place. A dynamic global food movement has risen up in the face of this sustained corporate assault on our food systems. Around the world, local food justice activists have taken back pieces of the food system through local gardening, organic farming, community-supported agriculture, farmers markets, and locally-owned processing and retail operations. Food sovereignty advocates have organized locally and internationally for land reform, the end of destructive free trade agreements, and support for family farmers, women and peasants. Protests against—and viable alternatives to—the expansion of GMOs, agrofuels, land grabs and the oligopolistic control of our food, are growing everywhere every day, giving the impression that food movements are literally “breaking through the asphalt” of a reified corporate food regime. The social and political convergence of the “practitioners” and “advocates” in these food movements is also well underway, as evidenced by the growing trend in local-regional food policy councils in the US, coalitions for food sovereignty spreading across Latin America, Africa, Asia and Europe, and the increasing attention to practical-political solutions to the food crisis appearing in academic literature and the popular media. The global food movement springs from strong commitments to food justice, food democracy and food sovereignty on the part of thousands of farmers unions, consumer groups, faith-based, civil society and community organizations across the urban-rural and north-south divides of our food systems. This magnificent “movement of movements” is widespread, highly diverse, refreshingly creative—and politically amorphous. Food Movements Unite! is a collection of essays by food movement leaders from around the world that all seek to answer the perennial political question: What is to be done? The answers—from the multiple perspectives of community food security activists, peasants and family farm leaders, labor activists, and leading food systems analysts—will lay out convergent strategies for the fair, sustainable, and democratic transformation of our food systems. Authors will address the corporate food regime head on, arguing persuasively not only for specific changes to the way our food is produced, processed, distributed and consumed, but specifying how these changes may come about, politically.
