The Caroline Chisholm Library will hold a major seminar on personal conscience rights this July in Melbourne. We are pleased to announce that the keynote speaker, joining us by video link, will be Professor David Oderberg.
Professor Oderberg is a well-known philosopher and writer on Aristotelian metaphysics, ethics and law, and has recently released a book on the law of conscience titled "Opting Out: Conscience and Cooperation in a Pluralistic Society".
Since the launch of Robert James Stove’s organ CD “The Gates of Vienna” at the Library in July, there have been many favourable comments and reviews of this excellent musical production. Amazon rated the CD with 5 stars.
There is also a YouTube clip of the launch which features jazz organist Joe Chindamo and of course Rob Stove himself available on Robert James Stove’s Facebook page.
Reviews, information and sales information for this CD are available at Rob's website.
On 27 May 2018, Brother Christian Moe FSC, who has often spoken at the library in past years and until recently came by bus from Mentone to use the library, celebrated 80 years – an astonishing milestone! – as a De La Salle Brother. And yet, he was not unique. His fellow Brother, Julian Watson FSC, also celebrated his same 80th anniversary on the same day.
Brother Christian is 96. He and Brother Julian are alert, erect, active and still very much engaged in living faithfully the vocation they began – astoundingly - in 1938.
