SUMMARY:Theologies of Priesthood for a Synodal Church: Where are we now?
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to a Xavier Centre event: an open panel discussion with contributors to the ongoing Theologies of Priesthood research project. \nThoughtful conversations on the future and leadership of our Church are important in this unpredictable and disconcerting world. A research project on the theme of the presbyterate is halfway through its trajectory\, addressing themes of revelation\, symbolism\, ecclesiology\, seminary formation and gender. You are invited to an open panel discussion with some of its contributors. \nThe evening offers an insight into an upcoming publication marking the anniversary of the two Vatican documents on the presbyterate — Presbyterorum ordinis and Optatam totius — titled Theologies of Priesthood for the 21st Century: Experience\, History\, Synodality. It also seeks to frame the last two broad themes of the work: seminary formation and gender. As this is a conversation concerning the whole Church\, the invitation is for all the baptised. \nPanellists and respondents include: \n\nArchbishop Shane Mackinlay\, Archbishop of Brisbane\nReverend Nathan Webb\, Pastor\, Stanthorpe of St Joseph\, Diocese of Toowoomba\nMs Qwayne Guevara\, Facilitator Formation and Young People\, Australian Catholic Bishops Conference\nProfessor Maeve Louise Heaney VDMF\, Xavier Chair for Theological Formation\, ACU\nReverend Dr Frank O’Loughlin\, Theologian and Priest of the Archdiocese of Melbourne\nReverend Dr Kevin Lenehan\, Catholic Theological College\, Melbourne\n\nThe session is facilitated by Professor Peter Howard\, who was involved in the project’s inception. \nDate and time: Wednesday 2 December 2026. 5.30 pm for canapés and drinks; 6.00 pm to 7.30 pm panel discussion. \nVenue: Greg Craven Centre\, Level 7\, St Teresa of Kolkata Building\, Australian Catholic University Melbourne Campus\, 115 Victoria Parade\, Fitzroy VIC. \nRegistration: Required — register online. Registrations close Monday 30 November 2026.
