BEYOND EXPEDIENCY - A day conference on honest discipleship
in today's
Church
Saturday, 7 October 2006, 11.00 - 17.00, St. Anne's Church, 55 Dean Street,
Soho, London W1D 6AF
Speakers:
Tina Beattie - Reader in Christian Studies and Senior Fellow, Centre for
Excellence for Educatiion in Human Rights, Social Justice & Citizenship,
Roehampton University, and Michael Kirwan SJ - Head of Theology, Heythrop
College, University of London. Tina Beattie's most recent book is "New
Catholic Feminism: Theology and Theory" (Routledge 2005) Michael
Kirwan's
"Discovering Girard" was published by DLT in 2004.
This event follows the 2005 Conference: Renewing Catholicity in a Diverse
Church. We will use the occasion to launch A LETTER TO ALL THE PEOPLE
OF
GOD, incorporating reflections from last year's gathering. Reflecting
upon
the 1st year of Benedict XVI's pontificate, in small groups and plenary
discussion, we will explore structural issues of truth and honesty in
today's Church. How do we create open conversations about honest
discipleship within the Church? We will become alert to how scapegoating
and
violence are woven into our processes of reflection and action,
aspolarisation becomes increasingly destructive within a community of
faith.
This will be a wake-up call to all concerned with reform and renewal
in
Church and society, concluding with a creative liturgy.
Booking is essential since preparatory reading material, drawn from
contributions by Timothy Radcliffe OP and Richard McBrien - University
of
Notre Dame USA - will be sent to all participants in advance.

Mission: to enable women to name their giftedness and from that awareness to effect structural change in the Church that reflects the mutuality and coresponsibility of women and men within that church.
