Interpreting Francis and Clare of Assisi:
From the middle ages to the present

THE EXAMPLE OF TWO LIVES...
Francis of Assisi (1181–1226) and Clare of Assisi (1194–1253) were two close friends who each in their own way transformed understanding of the message of Jesus by rejecting the conventions of their day. The intensity of their devotion has inspired generations of men and women to re-discover the meaning of the Gospel.
The various chapters in this book explore the different ways in which both of these two great personalities have been interpreted over the centuries. Inevitably, they inspired many debates about how the Franciscan Order, both in its male and female branches, should interpret those ideals of poverty and simplicity.

The Challenge of Gospel Authority

An Agreed Statement of the Australian Anglican- Roman Catholic Dialogue - 2004
From the Preface: “So often, our communities, due to their human frailty, do not adequately let the divine mystery they embody, shine through. Nowhere is the Gospel humility more likely to be undermined by human pride than in the exercise of authority. And yet there is no other situation where Gospel humility can be so profoundly proclaimed as in the exercise of leadership. Jesus himself bears witness to this. This alone should be sufficient to stimulate us to reflect on and improve in our communities our exercise of authority.”

Making Connections: Theological Leadership and the Australian Church:
A workbook

Peter Adam, Alison Taylor, Richard Treloar
In this book you will find six sessions on areas of theological leadership for use in a workbook or discussion book setting.

We hope this booklet will be of value to bishops, clergy and authorised lay ministers who are concerned about the issue of theological leadership from personal and vocational perspectives, and who are in a position to make changes in their own ministry practice and the institutional culture of their respective faith communities. We also hope that it will be of use to congregations looking for resources and ideas about how to more fully integrate their faith and their life and work in the world.
