Living at the apogee of one of the most creative periods of the Christian contemplative tradition was an extraordinary man – Meister Eckhart – a person of profound intellect, a spiritual guide to Christianity and to our whole Western civilisation.
While his writings are often poetical and paradoxical they are grounded in a deep knowledge and understanding of Scripture. 
We find in his teaching a way of understanding creation, who we are, who Christ is, who God the Creator is for us, which sits comfortably within the context of modern cosmology.
You are invited on a journey as we explore key aspects of the teaching of this remarkable man.

We celebrate our faith in a personal relationship with God: ‘This relationship is prayer’ (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2558).

Suggested donation $15.00. All are welcome!

This event will look at the person of Jesus as migrant; free and forced migration, and why human mobility is in keeping with the innate dignity of the human person. The talk will draw on Daniel Groody SJ’s four foundations of Migration theology: the Imago Dei, crossing the problem-person divide; the Verbum Dei, crossing the divine-human divide; the Missio Dei, crossing the human-human divide; and the Visio Dei, crossing the country-Kingdom divide. This event is co-hosted by the Centre for Faith Enrichment, the Western Australian Catholic Migrant and Refugee Office and the Justice Development and Ecology Office

In his Encyclical Ut Unum Sint, Pope Saint John Paul II stated that “the Church must breathe with its two lungs” – its Eastern one and its Western one. The Pope was especially encouraging Western Catholics to learn about and come to appreciate the Eastern tradition and the rich heritage of the Eastern Catholic Churches. Who are the Eastern Catholics? Where did their Churches originate, and how does their worship differ from the Roman Catholic Church? Melkite Priest Fr Elias Kilzi will guide participants in a four-week exploration of the Eastern tradition, including an explanation of how certain Eastern traditions can act as “bridges” between East and West. All are welcome!

Morning tea and lunch are included in the price. All are welcome!
