The following message has come through regarding the visit of the Dominican scholar, Fr Aidan Nichols, to Australia:
Leading English theologian and author (45 books!) Fr Aidan Nichols, O.P. who is visiting Australia as keynote speaker at the ACSA Conference this weekend in Melbourne, will make a lightning visit to Brisbane and speak publicly once only at St Ignatius Hall, Kensington Tce, TOOWONG, on Tuesday July 10, 2012, at 7.30 PM on the topic:
WHAT THEOLOGY IS and WHY WE NEED IT
This is a rare opportunity for Brisbanites to hear a really significant figure in contemporary Catholic thought. His lecture is intended to be not a specialised academic address, but more general and accessible to a wider audience, and he will launch his two most recent books.
ALL WELCOME
He is good, no doubt about it – well worth a major effort to go and hear him.
