Interdisciplinary
study days at Strathfield: Since 1970, Father Kevin O'Shea
cssr has been conducting annual study days in the general areas
of Theology and Philosophy at Strathfield. Because of
his scholarship and experience in a number of fields (Philosophy,
Theology, Scripture, Psychology, Counselling) he brings to bear
a rich interdisciplinary perspective on his topics.
In addition, he has continued his own research, not only in his
specialist areas, but with the interface between religion and science,
where he has contributed not only in Australia but at international
conferences in Europe. |
A special work of the Redemptorist Order in Australia has always been its "parish Missions". See below where a new 'Mission on the Web' was developed.
