ACI Zoom: Rewilding Faith – Creating New Spaces for Faith Workshop

ACI Zoom: Rewilding Faith  

Creating New Spaces for Faith Workshop

Thurs 14th March – 8.00 p.m.

With Patricia Higgins

A workshop to equip and encourage lay people to take leadership around their faith, and create spaces to nurture their faith and that of others.

On June 1st 2023 Patricia Higgins, a founding member of ACI, introduced the idea of ‘rewilding church’ to our ACI series of Zoom talks relating to the crucial issue of faith formation. Encouraged by the response, ACI has accepted Patricia’s invitation to support her Zoom-based workshop on ‘rewilding faith’, via her own website.

The workshop will draw on Active Hope process. Developed by US eco-philosopher Joanna Macy, and Scottish Mental Health Specialist, Dr Chris Johnstone, this reflective group process is intended to support people becoming active participants in bringing about what they hope for.

Light after Darkness

Chris McDonnell in his Catholic Times column wonders how life might be changed when we eventually return to the light from the current darkness we find ourselves in.
“… the consequent life in faith of our Christian community will be fundamentally altered by our current experience.
We might resume familiar patterns but we will come to them as changed people. The shock of the new will be unavoidable. Faith will have been tested by experience and the well-worn path we have happily followed will be lost in the stones and bushes of the hedge-row. The real challenge will be to maintain our experience of inter-dependence, the realization that there is such a thing as Society, that we need each other”.

Addressing Maynooth

Brendan Hoban like many priests spent a good part of today, Friday, visiting the elderly and sick in his parish and found there’s a lot of upset out there among people about the allegations that have been made against Maynooth Seminary.
Many priests will be considering if they should address this issue at weekend Masses. Brendan offers some thoughts that might provide a bit of clarity on the background as so many are confused; it might encourage priests to address it.
