Christopher Dawson Society - Audio LibraryAuthor: The Dawson Society
The Christopher Dawson Society for Philosophy and Culture is an incorporated association founded to encourage lay Christian engagement with contemporary philosophical and cultural issues. The Society takes its name from Christopher Dawson, the great English historian of the 20th century who throughout his work saw the world of spiritual belief as the dynamic element in history and as a real world-transforming power. It is the hope of the founders that in some small way the Dawson Society may uphold and continue the work of its namesake. The Dawson Society is based in Perth, Western Australia and hosts regular lectures and other cultural events.

Healing the Wounds of Sexual Abuse in the Church - Dr Theresa Burke
Monday, 10 February, 2020
The sexual abuse crisis has polarised the Church, and injured us all. Those who have survived clerical and other sexual abuse need the Church's healing power, but they are often alienated and unwelcome because they are seen as troublemakers. Innocent people scandalised by the crisis also need the Church's healing power, but they are sometimes unable to forgive the victims for coming forward. So how can we bridge this apparently unbridgeable gap? This presentation will examine the impact of sexual abuse on the individual, the impact of trauma, and how we as a Church - all of us - can begin to help restore to victims their full dignity in Christ. It will also describe Grief to Grace, a new sensory-based model for healing sexual abuse that follows the Sorrowful Mysteries."
