A really interesting discussion with a great group of educators!
We hosted a group of Danish school leaders today. The exchange of knowledge and experience of #catholiceducation was valuable. @davidkaletheia.bsky.social presented the context in Ireland and facilitated the discussion. Looking forward to collaborating again @schoolhumandev.bsky.social

It was a privilege to welcome Prof Lieven Boeve to MDCCE today. He spoke about his new book and the affiliates who gathered were captivated by his presentation. Lieven Leo recently featured on @convofromclass.bsky.social with @davidkaletheia.bsky.social

An amazing few days in Paris exploring the Course of Recognition by Ricoeur with some of the most wonderful people! Dr Eileen Brennan gave an excellent paper on Momday, it was an real priviledge to give the keynote address on Tuesday too! Great few days at the office for @schoolhumandev.bsky.social

But... what could Ricoer's work on recognition possibly have to say to Marion's phenomenology of givenness?

Looking forward to exploring this question in my keynote address next month in Paris at Le Fonds Ricoeur!

After Francis: What the future of the papacy means for Ireland
The papacy still matters for the Irish Church, particularly in how it approaches inclusion, women's leadership, LGBTQ+ Catholics, and rebuilding of trust
