God And Beer - Edition 19- Professor John Haldane (Australian Catholic University)

An event from the Knights of the Southern Cross Victoria to bring together Catholic men and women of all ages from across the south-east suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, several times a year. The aim is to inspire and strengthen Catholics by providing ideas and inspiration for renewal by drawing on the truth, beauty and goodness of the Catholic faith.

The eighteenth face-to-face event (held at the Notting Hill Hotel on Monday October 9, 2023) featured Professor John Haldane of Australian Catholic University. Professor Haldane spoke on "How to Fix Catholic Education".

Catholic education has been in a crisis for some years. Most families who send their children to Catholic schools do not attend Mass weekly and many students, upon graduation, have little idea of what the Church teaches. The problems are well-known but solutions are in short supply.

Professor John Haldane is a 'rock-star philosopher' and one of the leading thinkers in the world. A former papal adviser and current chair of the Royal Institute of Philosophy, he splits his time between Baylor University in the USA, Australian Catholic University in Melbourne, Notre Dame University in Sydney and the University of St Andrews in Scotland.

An initiative of the Knights of the Southern Cross Victoria to bring together people of all ages from across the south-east suburbs of Melbourne each month. Our aim is to inspire and strengthen Christians by providing ideas and inspiration for renewing the Church by drawing on the truth, beauty and goodness of the Catholic tradition.

Many thanks to those who made this possible, and those in attendance.
