Former President Tong’s country, the Pacific island nation of Kiribati, is one of the first places to confront sea level rise and other devastating real-life consequences of climate change.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Mr Tong is a strong voice for the Pacific and has been campaigning for climate justice for his people and those of the Pacific for many years. Bringing his voice to Australia is especially important in the current circumstances where Australians are engaged in a debate about greenhouse gas emissions and the continued mining and use of coal. The Pacific Calling Partnership is bringing Mr Tong to Australia in an effort to change the terms of the climate change debate in this country.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Join the Inter-Congregational Voice in Glebe for an evening with Anote Tong as he discusses the challenges facing Kiribati, Australia’s responsibility to tackle the climate crisis, and his vision for a more just and sustainable future.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Sr. Geraldine Kearney will serve as the event MC. Sr. Kearney, a Sister of the Good Samaritan of the Order of St. Benedict, has spent the last several years educating people in Australia and throughout the world about the impacts of climate change on low-lying islands in the Pacific.</p> <h2 style="font-weight: 600;"><em>Refreshments will be provided</em></h2> <div class='shareaholic-canvas' data-app='share_buttons' data-title='' data-link='' data-app-id='28132531' data-app-id-name='index_below_content'></div>Australia/Sydney2018-10-25T17:30:00Australia/Sydney2018-10-25T19:30:00en-AUClimate Change,Justice for all,NSW,PacificVincent Sicari; 0413 707 271; vincents@erc.org.au; https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-rising-seas-climate-change-and-the-pacific-tickets-50252262871?aff=ebdssbdestsearch-33.876022+151.181306Function Room - Good Samaritans @ St Scholasticas College, 2 Avenue Rd, Glebe NSW 2037, Australia0https://paxchristi.org.au/event/the-rising-seas-climate-change-and-the-pacific/freeai1ec-1788@paxchristi.org.au2020-02-27T11:05:03ZAny hope for Palestine now, or ever?<div>An evening with Areej Masoud!<br /> Areej is a Palestinian Christian from Bethlehem who currently works as the Development & Communications Department Coordinator at Bethlehem Bible College.<br /> Learn about the issues facing Palestinians and ways that you can engage in offering hope.Palestinian food – Dabka dancers!</p> <p>Donation entry</p> </div> <div>On Saturday 27 October 2018 at 6:00pm</div> <div> <h2>LOCATION</h2> <p>St Augustine’s Catholic Church Hall<br /> Eaton Street, Balmain, NSW 2041</p> <p><a href="https://www.trybooking.com/book/event?eid=427979&" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Book Here</a></p> </div> <div class='shareaholic-canvas' data-app='share_buttons' data-title='' data-link='' data-app-id='28132531' data-app-id-name='index_below_content'></div>Australia/Sydney2018-10-27T18:00:00Australia/Sydney2018-10-27T20:00:00en-AUNSW,Palestine-33.858776+151.183768St Augustines Catholic Church Hall @ Eaton St, Balmain NSW 2041, Australia0https://paxchristi.org.au/event/any-hope-for-palestine-now-or-ever/freeai1ec-1809@paxchristi.org.au2020-02-27T11:05:03ZContemplation and Action Seminar<p><a href="https://paxchristi.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Contemplation-and-Action-Flyer.pdf">Contemplation and Action Flyer</a></p> <p><em>The event, a Meditatio seminar hosted by the Australian Christian Meditation Community, will include keynote talks, Christian meditation, panel discussion and Q&A.</em></p> <p><em> </em><em>Speakers will be international social change educator, preacher and activist Jarrod McKenna and writer, speaker and contemplative activist, Donna Mulhearn.</em></p> <p><em> </em><em>They will be joined in discussion by a panel consisting of : CEO of Wayside Chapel, Jon Owen; activist and meditator, Sister Susan Connolly; Aboriginal educator, Ceane Towers and justice campaigner and meditator Jon O’Brien.</em></p> <p><em> </em><em>The speakers and panellists will cover topics such as how contemplative prayer awakens a stronger commitment to work for justice and how it can support the journey for social change.</em></p> <p><em> </em><em>“We will also discuss what spiritual practices can nourish our inner life to avoid exhaustion, burnout and despair, helping us connect to the divine source of love within,”  said Paul Taylor, one of the organisers.</em></p> <p><em> </em><em>“The seminar will also explore what contemplative activism looks like and how to integrate contemplation and action to help us be our better ‘more whole’ selves and realise a more just world.”</em></p> <p><em> </em><em>The seminar will run from 10am – 4pm.

We will spend some time reflecting on some of the campaigns and the people involved over the past 45 years and develop into a conversation on where the peace movement is now and where it might go in the future. There are many experiences to share and we hope you can come and share your own memories and hopes. Also bring pictures and other memorabilia. We are anxious to make this an event for as wide a representation of the peace movement as possible so we would really value you participation.</p> <p>N.B. We anticipate a relaxed conversation rather than a formal meeting</p> <p><em>We begin with a shared lunch at 1 p.m. ( bring some food to share. Heating facilities available, and aim to finish by about 4.15 with the “cutting of the cake.”</em></p> <p>Hope to see you then</p> <p>Harry</p> <div class='shareaholic-canvas' data-app='share_buttons' data-title='' data-link='' data-app-id='28132531' data-app-id-name='index_below_content'></div>Australia/Sydney2018-12-09T13:00:00Australia/Sydney2018-12-09T13:15:00en-AUPax Christi Meeting,Peace and Justice,Victoria-37.857976+145.028493Kildare Centre @ 39 Stanhope St, Malvern VIC 3144, Australia0https://paxchristi.org.au/event/celebrating-45-years-of-peace-activism/freeai1ec-2445@paxchristi.org.au2020-02-27T11:05:03ZCreating Our Future Exhibition<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2446" src="https://paxchristi.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/COF_Exhibition_Final-212x300.jpg" alt="" width="212" height="300" srcset="https://paxchristi.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/COF_Exhibition_Final-212x300.jpg 212w, https://paxchristi.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/COF_Exhibition_Final-768x1086.jpg 768w, https://paxchristi.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/COF_Exhibition_Final-724x1024.jpg 724w, https://paxchristi.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/COF_Exhibition_Final-640x905.jpg 640w" sizes="(max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px" /></p> <div class="rich-text"> <p>The<strong> Creating Our Future Exhibition</strong> is raising awareness of the United Nations <a href="http://www.sustainabledevelopment.un.org/sdgs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sustainable Development Goals</a> (SDGs) and encouraging creativity as a way to share stories and ideas.</p> <p>The SDGs are a thoughtful and measurable framework for us to work towards making the world a better place for all. Creating Our Future is a NFP community exhibition with each artwork representing one of the 17 SDGs.</p> <p>The exhibition opening night, on Friday 22nd February 2019, is expected to be an exciting and large event.</p> <p>Winners of the inaugural awards announced on Opening Night. Come meet the artists and share your stories!</p> <p>Live music, drinks, and canapes will be provided.</p> <p>If you are unable to make the Opening Night event or would like to support the exhibition more, you can make a donation <a href="https://events.humanitix.com.au/exhibition-donations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.

Her life (art, writings, books, religious commitment) revolves around the intersections between her own questions and those mirrored in the changing faces of contemporary art. She has been a consistent advocate for artists, including indigenous artists and their art.</p> <p>Some of her books and exhibitions include: Images of Religion in Australian Art (1988), Aboriginal Art and Spirituality (1991), Beyond Belief: Modern Art and the Religious Imagination (1998), and most recently, The Blake Book: Art, Religion and Spirituality in Australia (2011). She is currently the art consultant for Our Lady of Good Counsel Church at Deepdene in Victoria and feels passionately about this sacred place.</p> <p>Approach<br /> Rosemary’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> <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”.</p> <div class='shareaholic-canvas' data-app='share_buttons' data-title='' data-link='' data-app-id='28132531' data-app-id-name='index_below_content'></div>Australia/Sydney2019-03-02T09:30:00Australia/Sydney2019-03-02T12:30:00en-AUArt,Justice for all,NSW,Peace and Justicevlada.rsm@gmail.comCatherine McAuley Rooms @ 6 Victoria Road Parramatta0https://paxchristi.org.au/event/2426/freeai1ec-2202@paxchristi.org.au2020-02-27T11:05:03ZPax Christi NSW AGM<div class='shareaholic-canvas' data-app='share_buttons' data-title='' data-link='' data-app-id='28132531' data-app-id-name='index_below_content'></div>Australia/Sydney2019-03-04T18:00:00Australia/Sydney2019-03-04T21:00:00en-AUNSW,Pax Christi MeetingFr Claude MostowikEdmund Rice Centre @ 15 Henley Road Homebush West0https://paxchristi.org.au/event/pax-christi-nsw-agm/freeai1ec-2514@paxchristi.org.au2020-02-27T11:05:03ZThey are us – Support the people of Christchurch and say no to racism<table> <tbody> <tr> <td> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td width="600"> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 498.667px;">In light of the tragic events that occurred in Christchurch last week Unions NSW is organising a candlelight vigil in support of the people of Christchurch and to take a stand against all forms of racism in our communities.</p> <p><strong>The vigil will be held at Town Hall Square at 5.30pm this Thursday  21<sup>st</sup> March. </strong></p> <p>The event will have a number of speakers from community organisations and we would greatly appreciate your support in attending the event.</p> <p>A copy of the link to our event can be found here  <a href="https://u1584542.ct.sendgrid.net/mpss/c/9wA/ni0YAA/t.2q0/a5F5Qu3OQ06h7oRSIYKKCw/h0/e95iN6CjbzXkZ0-2B9-2B7XiMxObtX9xhCKZ-2FqKo9Td0mtCAB7K6-2BQBT-2BW6zMHgUeIVHnrn-2FIxpch5kzSBunmiJgX7QK7T58vM0RmiTtoZzjrNRI3xccQ-2F6gY1t7zXYwOSw5fjwRGt0Po8VoGEeF5wo3P24-2FjhbcSNc2xMWfIBgHjtxMbxaMZ8OyY-2FZO62XEASBCZQcsGwaGpcZewO8vw0fGo0tKG4BgdiEPmaUu9fbncdXH6sIA9OZ7qHxFs5PzTqRNwaCsnk45aT6G31DX4NSItMvTiaB1KRREbcSMwt9AEZ0NdW3VUFboqNTKTF-2BlebmhuvHfdf-2BS4i5xgbpXOK-2FQGLXJOwP4xjFZR3aS8lsba9SWGOrtIDURzWE6-2BqAqUJgUt-2BTAw9BEbCNtcB9GDmFhgCb9srWA07NDvd7kSMXa5v2z1LozkZC4IuMc1IpobUqNP9QAyZ1dddT4zv5F3dj4wA-3D-3D">https://www.facebook.com/events/429995517740079/</a>.

His insights into the origins of violence are sheer gift to our modern world.</p> <p>This course will be an exploration of some of his thought, 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 explored using Girard’s work in various disciplines, including literature.</p> <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 passion 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 recognised in this the call to humanity to imitate God, as seen in Jesus.</p> <p>Case studies in interpreting current events in the light of Girard’s insights will provide practical features to the course.

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 this 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 drawing 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 Australian naval ships. In addition, the US has increased its contingent of US marines in Darwin this year to 2,500. We don’t want Australia drawn into another US war.</p> <p>The future looks ominious.

Camilleri OAM</strong></p> <p>This will be a mix of lectures /interactive discussions with guests followed by an innovative workshop to develop new approaches to conversation and dialogue.</p> <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 democratic processes, loss of cultural and personal identity, cyber warfare, and more.</p> <p>It affects all of us who have leadership roles, whether as parents, educators, mentors, citizens, policy makers, and the challenges will increase in coming years.</p> <p>How we handle these challenges will go a long way to determining how effective we’ll be in our endeavours to secure a convivial human future.</p> <p>Looking forward to welcoming you and your friends and colleagues to what should be a stimulating exchange of views, information, and ideas.</p> <p>BOOK <a href="https://stmichaels.org.au/event/lecture-1-with-joseph-camilleri-oam-navigating-life-in-the-age-of-cyberspace/">HERE</a></p> <p><strong>Lecture 1: Searching for Meaning and Purpose</strong><br /> Tuesday 3 September, 6.15pm to 8.30pm (doors open at 6.00pm)</p> <p>The word ‘spirituality does not mean organised religion. Nor is it limited to spiritual practices, such as meditation. Rather it suggests a powerful impulse for life shaped by purpose, values, and perhaps transcendence.<br /> The question is: What does such a path mean in the digital age, especially as the ‘sacred’ is being invoked through digital channels to justify the most heinous crimes?<br /> Is there a spirituality that is receptive to mystery, beauty and wonder, yet comfortable with insecurity? Can spirituality accept a dialogue with those who espouse different even opposing beliefs and worldviews? If so, what form does it take? And how does it relate to the current technological explosion?</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Lecture 2: A Cultural Renaissance: Realistic Prospect or Just a Pipe Dream<br /> </strong>Tuesday 10 September, 6.15pm to 8.30pm (doors open at 6.00pm)</p> <p>The extraordinary information revolution is helping to integrate societies and provides new opportunities for many. But with it also comes a loss of uniqueness of local culture, a loss of identity, a sense of exclusion, and often populism, extremism and conflict.<br /> What is the cultural antidote to this trend? Can we protect and regenerate local cultures? Is a mutually enriching dialogue of cultures and civilisations possible? How? Is the ground in Australia more or less fertile than it was 5 or 10 years ago? What are feasible next steps? And what of the most daunting obstacles?</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Lecture 3 Politics in the Digital Age. Is There Life After Death?<br /> Tuesday 17 September, 6.15pm to 8.30pm(doors open at 6.00pm)</strong></p> <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 the order of the day. The end result: a deeply disturbing policy vacuum.<br /> All this is well known and has been canvassed in previous lecture series. 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 public? Are the conventional and social media a help or a hindrance?<br /> What might be useful communication and action strategies?</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <div class='shareaholic-canvas' data-app='share_buttons' data-title='' data-link='' data-app-id='28132531' data-app-id-name='index_below_content'></div>Australia/Sydney2019-09-03T20:30:00Australia/Sydney2019-09-17T21:30:00WEEKLY2019-09-17T23:59:59Z3en-AUDigital,Ecological sustainability,Justice for all,VictoriaProf Joseph CamilleriSt Michael's Uniting Church @ 120 Collins Street, Melbourne0https://paxchristi.org.au/event/communication-conversation-dialogue-in-the-digital-age/free$20.00ai1ec-2738@paxchristi.org.au2020-02-27T11:05:03ZAction for the Climate Emergency<div class='shareaholic-canvas' data-app='share_buttons' data-title='' data-link='' data-app-id='28132531' data-app-id-name='index_below_content'></div><p>Tickets: <a class="ai1ec-ticket-url-exported" href="https://www.trybooking.com/book/event?eid=543505&">https://www.trybooking.com/book/event?eid=543505&</a>.</p>Australia/Sydney2019-09-06T18:00:00Australia/Sydney2019-09-06T20:30:00en-AUClimate Change,Ecological sustainability,Justice for all,NSW,Peace and JusticeThe Ecology Group and Nangami Peace and Justice group of the North Sydney parish of Our Lady of the WayMonte Sant' Angelo Mercy College - Auditorium RY102 @ 128 Miller St , North Sydney, NSW 20600https://paxchristi.org.au/event/action-for-the-climate-emergency/externalhttps://www.trybooking.com/book/event?eid=543505&ai1ec-2700@paxchristi.org.au2020-02-27T11:05:03ZREFUGEES AS SCAPEGOATS AND WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT – Politics in the Pub<p>POLITICS IN THE PUB at Toxteth Hotel, 345 Glebe Point Rd..
