Review, Reimagine, Renew: Mission Making A Difference In A C

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.

Lisa McDonald
'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'
