The New Life programs cover significant topics in a number of areas related to life and ministry, and deal with these through lectures, pastoral reflection groups, guided personal reflection and reading. An excellent library is available.

 

The main areas are as follows:

Theology, Liturgy & Mission                                                       

• Christology ~ Jesus, the "Kenosis" of God

• Post-Vatican II Ecclesiology and issues confronting the Church today

  New Life Logo                             New Life (symbolised by the sprouting seed) is generated by the Holy Spirit (symbolised by curving lines) and continues to grow in the light of Christ (symbolised by the Cross).  This process is a living, dynamic movement of the Spirit within each person, and is expressed by the outward movement of the curved lines reaching beyond self to embrace others.
