A post-foundationalist Practical Theology? The pastoral cycle and local theology
(Christelike Lektuurfonds, 2012-09) Hendriks, Jurgens; Macallan, Brian
The article argues that Practical Theology has moved from the uncertainty of simply being applied theology to a point where its methodology, here described as the pastoral cycle, has gained such confidence, that it is seen as the natural way of doing theology. This shift in confidence occurred because the inherent theological and epistemological fault lines in foundationalism are no longer obscure. The article defines foundationalism but then concentrate on describing the local and glocal dimensions of the pastoral cycle as well as the importance of doing it in an interdisciplinary way.
A Protestant Reflection on St Mary of the Cross
(ATF Press, 2010) Kitchen, Merrill; Cadwallader, Alan H.
Mary MacKillop was born in Melbourne at a time when Australia was changing from being ‘an extensive gaol,’ into a British colony. Her Scottish parents had been amongst more than two hundred thousand Protestant and Catholic settlers who migrated from Britain to Australia between 1831 and 1850 and this early diverse Australian colonial community, with its retained sectarian allegiances, was far from being well integrated. Religious affiliation provided a framework for self-identification of one group over and against the other and as a result, healthy communal relationships between these often narrowly focussed religious groups were inhibited severely. Sadly, the two things all the immigrants appear to have held in common were ‘an idealised picture of Christian womanhood’ and an ignorant agreement about the subjugation of the Australian indigenous population they were in the process of displacing! From a twenty-first century evangelical Protestant perspective, Mary McKillop is to be praised for her ability to move beyond sectarian strife and align herself with the God she found present in the midst of all humanity.

A Time to Celebrate Achievements … and to Tackle the Next Big Challenge – Dialogue
(Sri Ramanuja Mission Trust, 2013-10-12) Fry, Ian; Fry, Ian
This paper is written in the context of a celebration of the achievements of Sri Ramanuja Mission Trust and its founder, Swamy Chaturvedi. It discusses the challenge for governments that have responsibility for education, training and community services at all levels in a nation in which one in every five people is a child under ten, another one in four are under 20, only one in three people are in the prime working period of 20 to 45 years of age, and only one in five are in the senior management pool of 45 to 65 which provides most political leaders. It notes that they come under pressure from commercial interests, especially those in the non-essential consumer goods sector, tourism and hospitality, and arms and defence procurement industries. It then refers to the added strains caused by the inversion of relationships between the White Western Christian Bloc and the World Majority Peoples, and the need for development of greater community cohesion through programs of dialogue between each of its faiths.

Aether and Ethernet: Historical Perspectives on Immediacy and Eu- charistic Participation in a Digital Age
(Heidelberg University Publishing, 2021) Brain, Matt; Kunek, Srebrenka; King, Fergus
The recent COVID pandemic has changed the ways in which churches have performed ritual and liturgy, provoking questions about whether on-line worship is “real” or the equal of Face-to-Face Worship. These questions are not new. The church addressed questions of absence and presence in considering how the worshipping community relates to God, Christ, and Spirit from its earliest days. Previous answers might assist the current discussion, if a missional hermeneutic is adopted, which recognises the need to identify “a manner, a style, a spirit” (Boff). Such “translations” bring significant change and deny theological antiquarianism. Reflection on how sacramental theology was shaped by Judaic patterns of anamnēsis and sacrificialisation, as well as later debates about the real Presence, indicate significant engagement with these themes. These reflections were rooted in the changing environments around the church as they brought fresh materials and questions within the purview of theologians. The digital environment provides fresh contexts for revisiting matters of absence and presence. One approach is outlined in the description of the opportunities for online ritual and worship offered by the My Pilgrims’ Way [MPW]materials which have been developed. Consideration of their role within missional church life reveals that digital platforms are no mere substitute for embodied presence. Rather it is through a digitally mediated gathering that new forms faithful to old patterns may be established.
After the Bushfires: Surviving and Volunteering

(2020-06) Goroncy, Jason
AN INTERFAITH ASHRAM: A description John Dupuche
(Dialogue monastique interreligieux -Monastic inter-religious dialogue, 2011-01) Dupuche, John
For the last eight years Father John Dupuche, a priest of the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne, has lived in an interfaith household – in fact, the parish house – with Swami Sannyasanand, a yogi of the Satyananda lineage, and Venerable Lobsang Tendar, a Tibetan Buddhist monk of the Gyuto tradition. His experience in this context and his wider interfaith activities in Melbourne have led him, together with Father Michael Mifsud, an Oblate of the Camaldolese tradition, to wish to set up a fully fledged interfaith ashram. They have drawn up this "rule" and would appreciate comments from readers.   Their experience in November 2010, also reported in this issue of Dilatato Corde, has shown the immense spiritual value of such a context for opening up the Christian mystery in ways we had never imagined possible. It will also show how humans can live together in unity and diversity. 
An Interpretative Approach to Understanding Violence Among Young People

An ordinary gift: The work of art as theological conversation
(2017-11-23) Mallaby, Leanne; Byrne, Libby
This case study considers the nature of making, seeing and being with art in a dialogue about the experience of Libby Byrne’s exhibition, ‘An Ordinary Gift’ in Melbourne, 2016. The article explores the nature of making, seeing and being with art as a methodological framework for theological inquiry. Bringing to bear their experiences as artist and curator, two researchers examine recorded viewers’ responses to the exhibition, as a means of understanding the nature of theological engagement and insight that was possible in the process of making, being with and seeing this public exhibition. The article acknowledges that the work of art offers an ordinary gift of containment for the ineffable qualities of our lived experience with God. A faith-ful framework of communal engagement can therefore offer an external reference point that guides and shapes the making, the seeing and even the ways in which we are able to be with art. As we transform the way we engage with theological questions and concerns we are in turn transformed by the ordinary gift of making, seeing and being with art.
Any faith that puts men above women is a misguided faith
(Ree Boddé, 2014-09-10) Boddé, Ree
Studies show that although beliefs do not cause violence against women they matter. Certain beliefs provide an environment where perpetrators find it possible to justify their behaviour through distortion or extension of religious teachings. Conversely, religious beliefs and practices also serve as protective factors against intimate partner violence. Continued progress is needed toward the development of faith based violence prevention approaches, which include raising awareness among religious leaders about how religious beliefs impact their members’ personal safety.
