The Risk of Freedom: From Genesis to Paul and Ignatius
Location
Thomas More Exhibition Centre, John XXIII College
About
The WA Christian Life Community (CLC) and Ignatian Spirituality WA (ISWA) warmly invite you to a presentation by Fr Brendan Byrne SJ. His talk will focus on the concept of Freedom, as a prerequisite for human beings to have a love relationship with God. It will begin with the creation story in Genesis 2-3 and the refinement of this in St Paul and, finally, against this biblical background, explore the Ignatian understanding of freedom in the service of mission.
