Pope Francis and other Prophetic Voices: Australian Catholic University
Date: Thursday 17 September and Friday 18 September 2015
Location: St Michael’s, 120 Collins Street, Melbourne
A conference to reflect on and respond to Pope Francis’ pontificate. The national Conference in September offers us a unique opportunity to place this prophetic message in an Australian context. The Conference, convened by the Australian Catholic University with the support of many organisations, will be preceded by a Youth Forum on Wednesday 16 September and a Public Forum will take place Thursday evening 17 September.
An array of noted speakers will resource a rich and productive conversation in plenary sessions, roundtables, panel discussion and small groups.
Pope Francis’ vision of faith challenges us to renew our commitment to the public good, be inclusive and just and to welcome the poor and the vulnerable. It is a vision which embraces people of all faiths, cultures and all people of good will.
Speakers

Members of all faiths, cultures and communities are warmly invited to join us in this unique event where together we will listen, speak, reflect and engage in a common effort to renew the public sphere. Post conference conversations and reflections will ensure together we continue to action conference outcomes.
