Talks and teachings on the Church from the iWitness Conference held at Stanwell Tops, Australia.
Hobart’s Archbishop Julian Porteous relates to his own experience in speaking on how we can put the popes’ call to a new evangelisation into practice in a post-Christian society.
Papal Nuncio to Australia Archbishop Paul Gallagher explores how liturgy has developed over the 20th century, and gives an overview of the fundamental themes of Pope Benedict’s vision of the Liturgy.
Cardinal George Pell gives his reflections on the changes to the world and the Church since Vatican II; and what Bl John Paul II, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI and Pope Francis have brought to the Church.
Sr Mary Helen opens up Pope Benedict’s first encyclical for an easily digestible look at the God Who is Love – and how we participate in that Divine Love.
Dr Robert Tilley explores how the culture & economy of our society affects us, how this in turn impacts our ability to hope, and what Popes Francis and Benedict say we can do about it.
Peter Holmes unpacks recent papal thought on how Mary and Joseph not only teach us how to be good women or men, but how to be a devoted follower of Christ.
In the final talk at iWitness 2012, Ryan and Karin Messmore reflect on their relationship and eventual marriage, and how it was influenced by an unlikely place – the covenantal marriage practice of the ancient Israelites.
In this talk for men from the iWitness Conference, Christian Stephens discusses two contradictory perspectives of masculinity put forward in the media, and how they both fall short of true masculinity.
