Lecture series: Cradio interview with Anna Krohn on Feminism & Equality: has the Church fallen behind?
Today women are seen in leadership positions in all areas of society, and to many it seems the Church is the one institution left holding them back: is this the case?
Cradio talked to the Archdiocese of Melbourne’s Women’s Liason Officer and Anima Women’s Network Convener Anna Krohn about the role of women in the Church and how the New Feminism can help us to truly embrace the dignity of woman.
Anna will lecture on “The Hour of Woman is Approaching…”: Is the Church Ahead or Behind that Moment?’ at The Crypt, St Mary’s Cathedral, Sydney on 27 November.
ALL WELCOME.

ABOUT THE LECTURE SERIES
At a time when many people seek to question the continuing role and relevance of the Catholic Faith, these lectures will equip ordinary Australian Catholics with the knowledge and arguments to defend our beliefs.
On behalf of His Eminence, George Cardinal Pell AC, Archbishop of Sydney, you are invited to attend the second in an occasional series of lectures sponsored by the Order of Malta – to provide clarity for Australian Catholics in discussing and defending their Faith.

ABOUT CRADIO – www.cradio.org.au
Cradio is a non-profit organisation seeking to put new technologies to the service of the Church in Australia.
Cradio was founded in 2010 under the guidance of Bishop Julian Porteous, and is the only outlet of its kind in Australia. It is a free service that includes a variety of Catholic programs, talks and music available via the 24-hour audio stream, or on-demand on the website and iTunes.
At the heart of Cradio’s activities is its mission to ‘nourish the soul of the digital generation’, or in the words of our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI, to ‘evangelise the digital continent’. By providing news, catechesis, discussion and entertainment they hope to create a place where Catholics and non-Catholics can go to learn about and celebrate the Catholic faith free from the skewed messages presented in secular media.
