Marist Studies

August 25, 2008

We have been fortunate enough to have Alois Greiler travel from Rome to spend a two days with us. As well as joining us tomorrow on our visit to Fourviere, Alois has presented five lectures / seminars in the past twenty four hours or so. As well as being amazed at the wealth of his scholarship, his enthusiastic presentation and choice of topic made it all go so fast. Interest was high and there were really more questions than time would allow. Perhaps having an extra day with him tomorrow may present the opportunity for people to ask him more questions in an informal setting.

Topics Alois spoke on were:

  1. How to understand Marist origins
  2. The House of Mary: key image for the life and spirit of Jean-Claude Colin
  3. Outline on Understanding Colin, his Personality and Way of Acting
  4. Transforming Grace: Essay on Marist Spirituality
  5. Colin and Oceania: Suva Colloquium 2007
