SUMMARY:CTC Seminar | Presented by Rev Dr Trevor Tibbertsma
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for the next CTC Seminar presented by Rev Dr Trevor Tibbertsma on Learn where there is Wisdom: A Theological Reading of Baruch 3:9-4:4. \nThis presentation is an overview of my forthcoming monograph on the Deuterocanonical book of Baruch as a source of enduring wisdom. Illuminated by distinct glimmers of a rich theology of revelation\, the chief hortatory goal of the sapiential exhortation of 3:9-4:4 in context is for readers to return to God through adherence to Scripture. This dynamic is\, in fact\, portrayed as something of a return from death to life\, surprisingly resonant with the Prodigal Son. Exploring the Greek poem through originating\, early Christian\, and modern academic contexts\, this study responds to a recent call for a fresh Christian interpretation that critically mediates between the early focus on a solitary verse as a prophecy of the Incarnation and the modern tendency to omit 3:38 as an interpolation. It is a theological reading insofar as it hypothetically grants Baruch’s subject matter as appropriately apprehended through serious theological reflection\, while allowing one’s conception of that subject matter to be shaped by what is exegeted from the text through a range of contexts. Its potential significance perhaps chiefly lies in being an up-to-date study of Baruch\, which is accountable to the concerns of biblical studies as well as those of Christian theology. \nJoin on Zoom\n  \n \nTrinity College Theological SchoolTrinity College Theological School is a college of the University of Divinity from the Anglican tradition\, based in Melbourne\, Victoria.

SUMMARY:Lonergan Australasia 2026 Autumn Seminar
DESCRIPTION:In the Lonergan Australasia 2026 Autumn Seminar in May\, Father Robin Koning SJ\, Director of the Australian Lonergan Centre will present on ‘The Culture has become a slum’: The Need for a Primary Dialectic of Culture. \nIn proposing a dialectics of history which can provide the general categories for theology\, Robert Doran develops Lonergan’s scale of values in a number of ways. He notes a series of dialectics within different levels of the scale\, notably the social and personal levels. With cultural values\, though\, while Doran draws on Lonergan’s account by distinguishing an everyday level of culture from a reflective level\, he does not present these in terms of a dialectic. Where he does speak of a dialectic of culture\, he sees this operating within the everyday level of culture in what he terms a secondary dialectic between anthropological and cosmological constitutive meanings. In this paper\, I will explore the possibility of and need for developing a primary dialectic of culture\, grounded in a series of hints in this direction in Lonergan’s own work. \nRobin currently serves as Provincial Assistant for Vocations\, which entails engagement in various young adult ministries\, including living at Bellarmine House in Sydney\, a small hostel for university students that the Jesuits run. Previously he taught systematic theology through the University of Divinity and served as Socius to the Provincial of the Jesuits in Australia. In the 1990s he worked in an Aboriginal parish in the Kimberley and has published a number of articles on inculturation\, based on his experience there\, and more generally on culture as a category in theology. He offers spiritual direction and gives workshops on Ignatian prayer and the Rules for Discernment of Spirits. \nHe holds a Doctor of Theology\, a Licentiate in Sacred Theology\, a Graduate Diploma of Arts (Aboriginal Studies)\, a Bachelor of Theology and a Bachelor of Science. \nRegister now\nTrinity College Theological SchoolTrinity College Theological School is a college of the University of Divinity from the Anglican tradition\, based in Melbourne\, Victoria.

SUMMARY:Felix Arnott Lecture with The Reverend Dr Elizabeth J Smith AM
DESCRIPTION:In our own accent: Australian English in worship and mission\nWhat is our Australian Anglican liturgical accent? How has it evolved? How does it relate to the versions of Australian English that are spoken outside our church buildings? How well does our liturgical language equip us\, not only to pray together\, but also to talk about the Good News and the things of the Spirit with those who don’t speak our insider dialect? And if our liturgical language needs to keep evolving\, what might it start to sound like? \nJoin us for refreshments from 5:30 PM\, followed by the lecture commencing at 6:00 PM. Attendance is available both in person and online\, making it easy for you to be part of this engaging event wherever you are. \nStay tuned for the livestream link or registration details\, and we look forward to welcoming you for an evening of thought-provoking discussion and community connection. \nThe Reverend Dr Elizabeth J Smith AM\nThe Reverend Dr Elizabeth J Smith AM has been a member of the General Synod Liturgy Commission since 1997.

From 2008 to 2015 she was Mission Development Coordinator for the Diocese of Perth\, providing resources and training for lay people and clergy in parishes\, chaplaincies\, school and agencies.

She now travels and teaches\, sharing skills for creating and using those “other suitable words” that A Prayer Book for Australia encourages Anglicans to develop for lively liturgy in your context. \nTime and Date\n5.30 pm – 8.30pm AEST\, 9 June 2026 \nFormat and Location\nHybrid\, join us in person at St Francis College\, 233 Milton Road\, Milton QLD 4066  or online via zoom (register below). \nRegister\nTrinity College Theological SchoolTrinity College Theological School is a college of the University of Divinity from the Anglican tradition\, based in Melbourne\, Victoria.
