Review, Reimagine, Renew

Archbishop Mark Coleridge of Brisbane

In this volume, leaders from Catholic social services and the broader Church

explore what it means to be a Catholic ministry, and what difference that

makes to the communities that we serve.

Such dialogue is welcome, indeed necessary if we are to be true to our

Gospel-inspired mission of standing with those who are disadvantaged and

marginalised. It fits well with the journey towards the 2020 synod of the

whole Catholic Church in Australia, which we can expect to engage with

contemporary issues of justice, peace and development.

‘when faith becomes active through love, we form a community of people who

have a mission impact far beyond hours served’

Anne Kirwan

‘the point of difference is staff understanding how Catholic Social Teaching

relates to their own values, and the way they work with clients and families’
