SUMMARY:LGBTIQA+ Affirming Mass - special Midsumma
DESCRIPTION:Acceptance Melbourne has been creating and claiming safe and fully affirming spaces in Melbourne for 50 years. Grab dinner on Chapel Street then join us for a Midsumma version of our monthly mass at 8pm at St Joseph’s Church. This generally lasts about 45-60 minutes\, followed by an optional cuppa and treats in the hall upstairs\, wrapping up around 10pm. We welcome people of all backgrounds\, you do not have to be Catholic to attend\, but you must be queer affirming and remain respectful during the mass. \nWe are an affirming\, volunteer-run\, non-profit organisation in Melbourne\, Australia that supports Catholics who identify as Lesbian\, Gay\, Bisexual\, Transgender\, Intersex\, Queer\, Questioning and their allies. Acceptance Melbourne empowers one another through fellowship and understanding\, believing in God’s love for all. We provide a safe and sacred place for spiritual growth. If you cannot make it\, but have other ways you would like to contribute\, please contact us. \nThis is a free event\, but we are grateful for donations as this is our only source of revenue.

SUMMARY:The Future of Catholicism in Australia
DESCRIPTION:Third in a series of talks organised by the Australian Catholic Coalition for Church Reform\nConvocation 3. 7.30 pm (AEDT) 18 November\nRegister free at: \nHOME \n \nOur Church is at a crisis point\, no longer adequately inspiring our people. We Catholics desire a ‘grown-up’ Church and recognise that the necessary reform requires major cultural change. All of us have a right and a responsibility to be engaged in this renewal. Relevant\, constructive\, and concrete proposals and actions are needed now more than ever to shape our Church for the task of proclaiming the vision and mission of Jesus in the 21st century. \nWe are concerned that the agenda questions for the Plenary Council do not encourage serious examination of the deep-seated issues underlying the numerous challenges facing thinking Catholics. We do not endorse the Agenda as it is and request that it be replaced. We urge those Members of the Plenary Council who have a similar view on the inadequacy of the current PC Agenda\, to express that view prior to\, or at the outset of the first session\, in the strongest possible terms. \nThe Plenary Council has the potential to be a catalyst\, a fulcrum on which an emerging Church can pivot towards the future. It could be a significant step towards a recovered vision of God’s revelation in Jesus and the Spirit within faith communities and in transforming our world and creation. \nWe call on Plenary Council members to respond to Pope Francis’ hopes for a new era of synodality and accountability where we all walk humbly together. It will require uncommon courage and a commitment to changes in how we do and are church. For this to happen\, we must be open to radical conversion\, reform\, and renewal. Let us journey in the Spirit!
