BISHOP Vincent Long from the Diocese of Parramatta will lead discussion at tonight’s (August 11) public meeting of the ginger group Concerned Catholics Canberra Goulburn.
“Concerned Catholics was established just over a year ago to press for reforms to reinvigorate the church through a greater role for lay people, particularly women, in decision-making, greater transparency and accountability, and removal of the clerical culture pervades an institution largely comprised of ageing men,” Professor Warhurst said.
Anne Kirwan, CEO of CatholicCare Canberra and Sr Clare Condon, former leader of the Good Samaritan Sisters, will join the discussion.
