The Book

Twelve prominent Catholic leaders from various sectors and

ministries of the Australian church offer their perspectives on

Pope Francis’ encyclical on ecology and creation. The book offers

readers insights and challenges to what Pope Francis calls “the

greatest moral challenge of our time.”

Within these pages are inspiration and practical ideas for caring for

our Common Home, for family members and parishioners, Church,

business and Catholic agency leaders, young people, Catholic educators,

social service and pastoral care workers, people engaged in health and

aged care and those charged with the responsibilities of leadership and

governance.

Inspired by the words of Pope Francis, the authors write from their own

professional and personal perspective about how each of us is called to

protect the earth, dignify humanity and restore God’s gift of creation.

This book is an excellent tool with far reaching application for all those

who contribute to the various organisations, communities, parishes and

agencies of our Church.

of creation.
