pathways: JUNE 09

The multi-faith theme of CRA's June national assembly will speak to the contemplative and prophetic role of religious men and women as the interreligious dialogue with the Abrahamic faiths opens up respect, esteem and appreciation.  

International speaker and prolific writer England's Fr Timothy Radcliffe OP will offer hope and meaning to a "beautiful vocation" when he speaks with religious women and men in Brisbane.

CRA is set to join Australia's interfaith dialogue through its national assembly while two leading Benedictine figures from the world stage will be in Melbourne later this year. Joan Chittister OSB and Laurence Freeman OSB will be among an impressive list of speakers - including the Dalai Lama - at the 2009 Parliament of the World's Religions, in Melbourne, in December.
