Idol Talk? In the Image of the Disabled God Disability, the Imago Dei and Practical Consequences

The Loyola Institute and the Institute for Religion and Critical Inquiry invite guests to listen to the response to this call, with reflections based on:

• the theoretical understanding of disability and human limitation (and society’s response to it) in the context of Incarnation
• the practical response to it by Church and society at large
  the prophetic role of the Church in relation to the ‘internal exile’ (Fratelli Tutti 98) of many of its members.

The Idol Talk Conference will feature speakers representing a diverse range of institutions, including The Loyola Institute, Australian University of Theology, Society of Jesus Australia (JEA and JSMA), South Cross Care Queensland, BBI-The Australian Institute of Theological Education, Sisters of Saint Joseph, Catholic Social Services Victoria, Speaking Insights, Missionaries of the Sacred Heart, Australian Catholic University, University of Tasmania, John Pierce Centre, and Xavier University.
