Re-contextualisation
Today we live in a diverse and
pluralised
culture, and it is therefore necessary for us
to look for a renewed and
contemporary Catholic profile
that remains meaningful within
this context, and that invites all to
engage in authentic dialogue.

“Education has fundamental connections with the idea of human emancipation, though it is constantly in danger of being captured for other interests. In a society disfigured by class exploitation, sexual and racial oppression, and in chronic danger of war and environmental destruction, the only education worth its name is one that forms people capable of taking part in their own
liberation.”
Connell R et.al. 1982 Making the difference Allen & Unwin

With its distinctive worldview so thoroughly committed to human
thriving, and having access to the very best of educational insight and practice, Catholic education
has enormous potential for relevancy and possibility.

Why?
• Why is the Christian faith not often experienced as ‘good news’ by the young, as wonderful and attractive?
• Why do the claims that we make for our faith often seem to be irrelevant, unconvincing and even boring?
• Timothy Radcliffe

“In the gospels, all the people who encountered Jesus only by hearsay, by what somebody else believed about him, by what they’d been told, by what they
hoped to get out of him: all those people left.
They still leave today.”

vibrancy, breadth, diversity, and inclusiveness of early Christianity?

Humans become the God we worship
• Your image of God creates you.
• If you get the image of God wrong, everything else that builds on it is going to be rather inadequate. (Rohr)

As Catherine LaCugna writes:
• The God whom Jesus loves, relies on, by whose power he heals and forgives sin, is not a political monarch, a tyrant, an aloof authority figure, a castled king or queen whose subjects cannot visit, an isolated figure who cannot suffer because he does not love. . . . The God of Jesus Christ is, as Bonaventure put it, the fontalis plenitudo, the fountain overflowing with mercy and justice, and also the telos, the end and fulfillment of every creature. [2]

Rational and sincere people wonder, “If God is almighty and all-loving, then why is there so much suffering in the world?”
If God is all-vulnerable, then perhaps God stands in solidarity with all pain and suffering in the universe, allowing us to be participants in our own healing.

You are co-creating with the you that originated in God, that originated in Love
