SUMMARY:Day for Clergy
DESCRIPTION:The next Clergy Formation Day at The Gillis Centre will be given by Father Peter Cameron OP and is entitled Preaching as Generating. \nThe day will begin at 11:00am with coffee and we hope to finish by 3:30pm. \nOf the day\, Father Peter says\, “The presentation will be super practical. \n“It will focus on how recent Church documents encourage the preacher to conceive of preaching\, and on the role of Sacred Scripture and structure in preaching. \n“We will work on a lectionary Gospel text for an upcoming Sunday so that the participants can go home with the beginnings of a homily in their pocket”. \nPeter John Cameron was ordained a Dominican priest in 1986 for Province of St Joseph. He holds an STL from the Dominican House of Studies (Washington\, DC)\, and a Master of Fine Arts in playwriting from the Catholic University of America. \nSince 1994\, he has taught homiletics at four seminaries in the United States\, and he is currently the Carl J. Peter Chair of Homiletics at the Pontifical North American College in Rome. \nHe served two terms as the Director of Preaching for his Dominican province. He is also the founding editor-in-chief of Magnificat (English edition)\, where he worked from 1998-2018. \nPeter is the author of To Praise\, To Bless\, To Preach: Spiritual Reflections on the Sunday Gospels (three volumes)\, and Why Preach: Encountering Christ in God’s Word. \nLet us know whether or not you can attend to help us with catering. Please email ann-margaret.clark@staned.org.uk \n  \nThis event is for clergy of the Archdiocese of St Andrews & Edinburgh only.

SUMMARY:Catholic Social Teaching and AI
DESCRIPTION:St Mary’s in Scotland is delighted to share its upcoming conference on AI\, emerging technologies\, and Catholic Social thought\, sponsored by the Catholic Union of Great Britain and by Churches\, Charities and Local Authorities (CCLA) Investment Management Limited. \nEver since Rerum Novarum in 1891\, the Church has\, through her official teaching\, presented the world with the key social principles required in order to properly discern how to order society towards the kingdom of God. \nWritten on the backdrop of a changing social landscape in the west as a result of technology\, Pope Leo realised that the impact technology has on society would require spiritual intervention\, and the same is true today. \nWith the popular emergence of generative AI and the wider implementation of autonomous systems\, there is an urgent need to discuss what impact these technologies have on society\, through a deep reflection with Catholic Social Thought – an urgency noted by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of Faith’s document Antiqua Et Nova. \nPlease register on Eventbrite. Questions? Please email stephen.dolan@stmarys.ac.uk \nThis event is organised by St Mary’s University.
