As the second interview in this series we have pleasure in presenting
an extended conversation with Fr Diarmuid O'Murchu recorded during his
recent visit to Australia. Fr O'Murchu is in conversation with the publisher
of Catholica Australia, Brian Coyne,
and Brian's business, creative and life partner, Amanda McKenna.
The
conversation attempts to provide a quick summary of the material Fr O'Murchu
covered in the workshops he presented at Janet Clark Hall within the University
of Melbourne between 22 and 28 January 2007. Both of these seminars were
oversubscribed. The first, from 22-25 January, was entitled "Catching
up with Jesus" and the second, from 26-28 January, was entitled "Religious
Life Changing Paradigms". The workshops were facilitated by
The Wellspring
Centre Inc an ecumenical centre for spirituality based at Ashburton
in Victoria.
Fr O'Murchu is a member of the Sacred Heart Missionary Order. He is a graduate
of Trinity College, Dublin Ireland, and a social psychologist whose entire
working life has been in social ministry. In that capacity he has worked
as a couple's counsellor, in bereavement work, AIDS-HIV counselling and
laterally with homeless people and refugees. As a workshop leader and
group facilitator he has worked in Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, The
Philippines, Thailand, India, Peru and in several African countries. His
best known books include Quantum Theology (1996 - revised
in 2004), Reclaiming Spirituality (1998), Evolutionary
Faith (2002), Catching Up with Jesus (2005).
