On 12-14 May 2022, Jesuit and Ignatian Spirituality Australia is offering a transformative conference to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the conversion of St Ignatius Loyola.
This three-day conference will be an Ignatian murmuration, a series of spiritual conversations using the Spiritual Field Hospital exercises of Michael Hansen SJ during Covid, to make connections with Ignatius in his interior journey of receiving new life in Christ. Receive new life yourself. And do it in enjoyable company.
The conference aims to deepen the critical issues, the provocations and the ideas of the Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia of Pope Francis, to progress in theological-moral reflection, in the awareness that it continues to have a programmatic significance for the theology of marriage and family, and finally, for Christian ethics. For this reason it is necessary to start again from pastoral practice, in its ecclesial horizon, to rethink theological-moral questions, in a constructive dialogue with universal human experience, but always particular in different cultures and life histories.
