We the Sisters of the Good Samaritan, are religious women whose desire is to seek God. Our spirituality, nourished by the ancient Rule of Benedict and the Good Samaritan parable, is expressed in our commitment to community life, prayer, justice, hospitality and compassionate service. We take seriously Jesus’ Gospel command to go and be neighbour.
Tanya Hosch, Deputy Campaign Director for the growing movement to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia’s Constitution, explains why recognition and removing discrimination from our national rule book matters to every Australian.
The Good Samaritan Sisters have become the first religious congregation to join the citizens’ coalition, the Sydney Alliance, whose mission is to advance the common good and achieve a fair, just and sustainable city.
Every Australian family is exposed to the possibility of their life being touched by disability, writes Tony Fitzgerald.
