BACKGROUND
In July 2021, CRA launched a series of online ‘conversations’ as a catalyst for dialogue to explore ‘The Light from the Southern Cross’ Report, a rich resource which needs to be considered deeply. These online conversations are also a source of formation opportunities.
Themes: Three key themes from the Report which have been selected for the online events are:
Mission and Church, which was held on 7 July 2021 - view the recording here;
Synodality and Co-Responsibility, to be held on 1 November 2021 - view the recording here; and
Accountability and Transparency, scheduled for early 2022.
