 senter<br />\nRosemary Crumlin RSM OAM</p>\n<p>THEME<br />\nThe significan
 ce of the environment in religious art and architecture<br />\nThe eyes wi
 th which the artist sees<br />\nThe eyes with which you see.</p>\n<p>Rosem
 ary Crumlin is an art curator\, historian and consultant in contemporary a
 rt and spirituality and in its intersections with Liturgical Art in Painti
 ngs and Churches. Her life (art\, writings\, books\, religious commitment)
  revolves around the intersections between her own questions and those mir
 rored in the changing faces of contemporary art. She has been a consistent
  advocate for artists\, including indigenous artists and their art.</p>\n<
 p>Some of her books and exhibitions include: Images of Religion in Austral
 ian Art (1988)\, Aboriginal Art and Spirituality (1991)\, Beyond Belief: M
 odern Art and the Religious Imagination (1998)\, and most recently\, The B
 lake Book: Art\, Religion and Spirituality in Australia (2011). She is cur
 rently the art consultant for Our Lady of Good Counsel Church at Deepdene 
 in Victoria and feels passionately about this sacred place.</p>\n<p>Approa
 ch<br />\nRosemary’s way of entry is always through the ‘half-open door’ –
  the work of art itself\, and\, the experiences which participants bring\,
  and their diverse ways of their seeing. She writes\,</p>\n<p>“Images and 
 seeing are at the heart of this shared experience. I hope to respect this.
  I shall bring some originals as well as a few images. I hope we meet some
  new works\, some great artists and each other\, and perhaps find new ways
  of understanding what brings us together about care for the whole of life

DESCRIPTION:<p>René Girard has been called “the new Darwin of the human sci
 ences”. His insights into the origins of violence are sheer gift to our mo
 dern world.</p>\n<p>This course will be an exploration of some of his thou
 ght\, with personal and global application. It will investigate aspects of
  human imitation which show how we are all interdependent. The consequent 
 realities of rivalry\, scapegoating\, sacrifice and violence will be explo
 red using Girard’s work in various disciplines\, including literature.</p>
 \n<p>Particular attention will be given to the Gospels\, the discovery of 
 which changed Girard’s life. The course will offer opportunities to apply 
 his insights to various parts of the scriptures\, particularly to the pass
 ion and resurrection of Christ. As a result of the Christ event\, there is
  underway an evolution of human consciousness\, which involves a slow but 
 relentless growth in understanding the nonviolence of God. Girard recognis
 ed in this the call to humanity to imitate God\, as seen in Jesus.</p>\n<p
 >Case studies in interpreting current events in the light of Girard’s insi
 ghts will provide practical features to the course. Susan draws on her lif
 e’s work in areas of Social Justice.</p>\n<p><em>Nobody will be turned awa

 e for an independent foreign policy”</strong></p>\n<p>The conference is be
 ing held at a time of increasing contention between the US and China in ou
 r region with the US practising to invade islands in the South China sea u
 sing its new Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO). The US Marines
  claim this strategy will be difficult for China to counter. Recently the 
 US practised this strategy by “capturing an island le Shima off the coast 
 of Okinawa. By designing the US-Australia Talisman Sabre war exercises thi
 s year (11-24<sup>th</sup> July) to further practice this strategy off/on 
 the coast of Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef area\, the US is drawin
 g Australia into its hostile intentions aimed at China. The HMAS Adelaide 
 and Canberra have been fitted out to support amphibious landing operations
  and in recent exercises\, US marines have been imbeded on these Australia
 n naval ships. In addition\, the US has increased its contingent of US mar
 ines in Darwin this year to 2\,500. We don’t want Australia drawn into ano
 ther US war.</p>\n<p>The future looks ominious. This issue will be address
 ed at the conference together with  IPAN’s National Campaign to end the st
 ationing of US troops in Darwin.</p>\n<p>In addition\, the conference will
  explore:</p>\n<p>*Why Australia needs an independent foreign policy</p>\n
 <p>* The extent of foreign military facilities in Australia and their purp
 ose</p>\n<p>* The impact of militarism on the environment</p>\n<p>* The co
 st of militarism to Australians</p>\n<p>An impressive list of overseas and
  Australian specialist speakers have been engaged for the conference with 
 plenty of opportunity for conference delegate participation.</p>\n<p>Pleas

DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Navigating Life in the Age of Cyberspace</strong><st
 rong>.</strong></p>\n<p>A series of lectures presented by <strong>Emeritus
  Professor Joseph A. Camilleri OAM</strong></p>\n<p>This will be a mix of 
 lectures /interactive discussions with guests followed by an innovative wo
 rkshop to develop new approaches to conversation and dialogue.</p>\n<p>The
  digital age now intrudes into every facet of modern life – information\, 
 communication\, recreation\, study\, work\, shopping\, economy\, politics\
 , and more. The challenges it poses are immense – from cyber bullying to ‘
 big brother surveillance’\, loss of privacy and autonomy\, erosion of demo
 cratic processes\, loss of cultural and personal identity\, cyber warfare\
 , and more.</p>\n<p>It affects all of us who have leadership roles\, wheth
 er as parents\, educators\, mentors\, citizens\, policy makers\, and the c
 hallenges will increase in coming years.</p>\n<p>How we handle these chall
 enges will go a long way to determining how effective we’ll be in our ende
 avours to secure a convivial human future.</p>\n<p>Looking forward to welc
 oming you and your friends and colleagues to what should be a stimulating 
 exchange of views\, information\, and ideas.</p>\n<p>BOOK <a href='https:/

 fe-in-the-age-of-cyberspace/'>HERE</a></p>\n<p><strong>Lecture 1: Searchin
 g for Meaning and Purpose</strong><br />\nTuesday 3 September\, 6.15pm to 
 8.30pm (doors open at 6.00pm)</p>\n<p>The word ‘spirituality does not mean
  organised religion. Nor is it limited to spiritual practices\, such as me
 ditation. Rather it suggests a powerful impulse for life shaped by purpose
 \, values\, and perhaps transcendence.<br />\nThe question is: What does s
 uch a path mean in the digital age\, especially as the ‘sacred’ is being i
 nvoked through digital channels to justify the most heinous crimes?<br />
 \nIs there a spirituality that is receptive to mystery\, beauty and wonder
 \, yet comfortable with insecurity? Can spirituality accept a dialogue wit
 h those who espouse different even opposing beliefs and worldviews? If so\
 , what form does it take? And how does it relate to the current technologi
 cal explosion?</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><strong>Lecture 2: A Cultural Renaissance
 : Realistic Prospect or Just a Pipe Dream<br />\n</strong>Tuesday 10 Septe
 mber\, 6.15pm to 8.30pm (doors open at 6.00pm)</p>\n<p>The extraordinary i
 nformation revolution is helping to integrate societies and provides new o
 pportunities for many. But with it also comes a loss of uniqueness of loca
 l culture\, a loss of identity\, a sense of exclusion\, and often populism
 \, extremism and conflict.<br />\nWhat is the cultural antidote to this tr
 end? Can we protect and regenerate local cultures? Is a mutually enriching
  dialogue of cultures and civilisations possible? How? Is the ground in Au
 stralia more or less fertile than it was 5 or 10 years ago? What are feasi
 ble next steps? And what of the most daunting obstacles?</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p
 ><strong>Lecture 3 Politics in the Digital Age. Is There Life After Death?
 <br />\nTuesday 17 September\, 6.15pm to 8.30pm(doors open at 6.00pm)</str
 ong></p>\n<p>Politics in Australia and elsewhere is in disarray: political
  parties driven largely by short-term self-interest\; parliaments that don
 ’t work\; those in authority\, leaders in name only\; lies and cover-ups t
 he order of the day. The end result: a deeply disturbing policy vacuum.<br
  />\nAll this is well known and has been canvassed in previous lecture ser
 ies. But there are early signs of ‘new life’. What might these be? How can
  they be nurtured? How can we bring them to the attention of a wider publi
 c? Are the conventional and social media a help or a hindrance?<br />\nWha
 t might be useful communication and action strategies?</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>
