Recently our Australian Church has been called on to stretch its thinking as it held the second Assembly of the Fifth Plenary Council in Australia. It was a diverse gathering made up of 277 members across all the dioceses and eparchies in Australia. Below are a variety of links from the Council that are well worth reading and listening to.

  • Member Reflections
  • The Plenary Matters podcast was hosted by Geraldine Doouge throughout the Assembly. She interviews a range of people on the various motions from both the First and Second Assemblies.
  • What exactly were the topics being discussed at the Plenary Council? Here you will find what the motions were, how they were voted upon and the decrees of the Council.
  • Good Samaritan Congregational Leader Sr Patty Faulkner reflects on her experience of a particularly difficult day at the Plenary Council in this article. It was first published in the July 2022 edition of The Good Oil, the e-journal of the Good Samaritan Sisters www.goodsams.org.au
