Beauty and Tradition was the theme of the Biennial Conference on Philosophy, Religion and Culture held at the Catholic Institute of Sydney in November 2018. This volume contains a selection of papers from the Conference that well address the theme from a variety of points of view—religious and non-religious, cultural, analytic and speculative. The aim of the Conference is to bring together academics and graduate students from secular universities and theological colleges to discuss and share perspectives on themes of significance for the whole community. The Conference has shown that on both sides—religious and secular—there is room for meetings and conversations that are more spiritually broad and culturally informed.

Life to the Full tells the stories of seven couples, including the author and her husband, who have walked their own path through infertility. Through the voice of the women involved, these couples bravely and honestly share their intimate struggles and joys and allow us in as they ask deep questions of themselves and God. It is a book of struggle, but overwhelmingly, a book of hope, as each couple opens themselves to God’s will in their life, finding not only a measure of peace in their infertility, but also new callings and new dreams that have given rise to surprising fruitfulness. ‘I heartily commend this book not only to those travelling the road of “uncooperative fertility” but also those in parish ministry or with loved ones on that journey – it will open many big-hearted conversations and transform the way we approach infertility in our communities.’ Francine Pirola, Director, Marriage Resource Centre, Sydney NSW..

Feeling ashamed is something we all experience. It is a painful and pressing reality for today’s Church. Jesus himself knew what it felt like. But we can easily forget that it was part of the life of Mary, his mother. This book, brilliantly written by theologian, Thomas Ryan, accompanies Mary in her own moments of shame and, even, public humiliation. It explores how such disruptive events can offer positive opportunities, with Mary, to learn, to grow and, importantly, to renew hope for our troubled Church. This highly original book is essential reading for all in today’s turbulent world who seek to be inspired and guided by the lessons of the life of Mary, Mother of God. -Gerald A. Arbuckle SM, Author: Abuse and Cover-Up: Refounding the Catholic Church in Trauma (Orbis, 2019)..
