The challenge of opening up these Catholic meaning spaces with authenticity lies at the heart of the identity challenge faced by Catholic schools in our time.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Sometimes the approach taken in explorations of Catholic identity is to define 'Catholic' by referring to abstract principles or concepts. This book is grounded in contemporary research but explores it through living examples of school life. Painting a contemporary picture of Catholic identity, each chapter focuses on a particular facet of the Catholic school - pastoral care, curriculum, pedagogy, disability, prayer and ecological sustainability.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e If you are a principal, staff member, parent, parish leader or someone in the community who believes in the potential of Catholic education, this book seeks to explore the religious identity question that is so critical in our schools. If you believe Catholic schools can proclaim the Gospel uniquely and powerfully, this book is for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Sharkey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vaughan Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.17d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780987306036\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSharkey, Paul:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Dr Paul Sharkey is the Director of Catholic Identity and Educational Services at the Catholic Education Office, Melbourne.
