Perth Archbishop Timothy Costelloe SDB agreed that Australia had something of a “head start”, with the Plenary Council having invited the People of God to consider significant questions around the Synod’s themes of communion, participation and mission.
Townsville priest and internationally respected systematic theologian Dr Ormond Rush has said the Church is powerless, clueless, without the Spirit enlightening it to discern how to apply the Gospel of Jesus Christ in new situations.
Dr Rush was last week invited to unpack the seventh theme of the Framework for Motions, At the Service of Communion, Participation, and Mission: Governance.
