At the Spiritual Care Australia conference held at the Australian Catholic University in North Sydney, Geraldine sat down with keynote speaker, Rev Jon Owen, CEO and pastor of the Wayside Chapel, which turns 60 this year.
They discuss the spiritual needs of communities still seeking ritual, as in the aftermath of the Bondi shootings where Wayside has opened a chapel. It's when we come together to share stories, Jon says, that we can remedy the social impacts of loneliness and mitigate the temptation to retreat into easy answers.
Mentioned in the episode:

Papal nuncio to US Cardinal Christophe Pierre's address, 'Becoming a universal church'.
International theologian Dr Myriam Wijlen's lectures in Sydney and Melbourne in August. She will also be speaking at Holy Spirit Seminary in Brisbane on 24 July.


Thank you for listening! Would love to hear your feedback on the Plenary Matters Facebook page.
