Writers’ Festivals are a staple of Australian cultural life but we have turned it around, asking what favourite spiritual writers readers read. Our attention is on spirituality, on individual spiritual writers, and includes anyone who lived in the last one hundred years. T.S. Eliot wrote of the Intersection of the timeless with time. The period constraint (1918-2018) provides a framework in which to reflect on our own present world and that of the immediate past generations. Some will see this span as modern and post-modern, others as pre- and post-Vatican II, others as before and after the start of the Anthropocene, and there will be other ideas of transition within the period. All are valid and welcome.
This is a unique opportunity to hear a variety of speakers on their spiritual reading and the spiritual life today. Our Symposium will be diverse, ecumenical, and imaginative. Book here: https://www.trybooking.com/375979
