SUMMARY:Annual Janette Gray RSM Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Save the date! Pilgrim is proud to be hosting the annual Janette Gray RSM Lecture on Friday 21 August 2026.  This year\, the lecture will be delivered by Dr Mary Kate Holman in celebration of the first decade of the Australian Collaborators in Feminist Theologies.  \nDr Mary Kate Holman is a scholar of contemporary Catholic theology. She holds a BA from Georgetown University\, an MTS from Boston College’s School of Theology and Ministry\, and a PhD from Fordham University. Prior to her arrival at Fairfield\, Dr. Holman was Assistant Professor of Theology at Benedictine University in the suburbs of Chicago. Dr. Holman’s teaching interests include Feminist Theology\, Ignatian Spirituality\, Vatican II\, and Spirituality & Social Justice. Her research interests encompass Ecclesiology\, Nouvelle Théologie\, Marie-Dominique Chenu\, Vatican II\, and Feminist Theology. \nDr. Holman will publish Marie-Dominique Chenu and the Signs of the Times through University of Notre Dame Press in 2025. She published an English translation of Chenu’s Saulchoir: A School of Theology with Joseph Komonchak in 2023. Dr. Holman’s writing has appeared in the Journal of Jesuit Higher Education\, Theological Studies\, and Commonweal. \nIn a time marked by intersecting crises\, narratives of disaster and nevertheless deep possibilities\, we invite fresh perspectives to enact and sustain hope and courage. \nWhere and why does hope flourish? What sustains commitment and resistance in times of trial? What space can be made for dissonance and dissent? How do people engage and encourage others of like mind and heart? What resources can we find in our contexts and traditions? How do communities cultivate creative practices of transformation? To what are we called? \nRegistration information to follow. \nNote\, this lecture also coincides with the launch of the 2027 ACFT Art Exhibition based on the theme of this years’ conference\, “Imagine Something Else: Communities\, Creativity\, Resistance”.

SUMMARY:Northey Lecture "Faith in Protest"
DESCRIPTION:NL PILGRIM Faith in Protest Flyer \nFREE PUBLIC LECTURE ON FAITH\, RACISM\, AND PROTEST. \nIn 1969\, the World Council of Churches launched its controversial Programme to Combat Racism. Over the next two decades\, the programme funded and supported Civil Rights activism in the USA\, anti-apartheid movements in South Africa\, and revolutionary groups in South America. What is less well known is that the programme made important contributions to anti-racist theologies and activism in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. \nUsing the work of the Programme to Combat Racism as a point of departure\, this lecture will explore the kinds of ideas and theological commitments that led New Zealand and Australian Christians to become involved in anti-racist activism in the 1970s and 1980s. Moreover\, it will suggest how this history can continue to provide valuable lessons for responding to racism and white supremacy today \nWHEN: Wednesday 2nd September\,  2pm (in person or online) \nWHERE: Centre for Theology and Ministry\, 29 College Crescent\, Parkville \nTICKETS: This is a free event\, but tickets required for catering purposes and zoom link.  Get your ticket here. \nMichael Mawson – Pilgrim Theological College \nAbout the speaker: \nMichael Mawson is a Pākehā (white) theologian and holds the Maclaurin Goodfellow Chair of Theological and Religious Studies at Waipapa Taumata Rau | University of Auckland. He previously worked at the United Theological College in Parramatta. Some of his recent books include Standing Under the Cross: Essays on Bonhoeffer’s Theology (2023) and\, with Brian Kolia\, Unsettling Theologies: Memory\, Identity and Place (2024).
