His paper provided some initial reflections on how the Orthodox Church engages in moral discernment, particularly how decisions about moral matters are made. The eight different member churches represented included: Anglican Church of Australia, Greek Orthodox Church, Uniting Church in Australia, The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), Roman Catholic Church, The Salvation Army, The Churches of Christ and the Coptic Orthodox Church.

 

Introducing the Master of Greek Philosophy

Greek philosophy remains foundational to the history of ideas in the Western and Eastern traditions. It has shaped disciplines as diverse as theology, ethics, politics, science, and metaphysics. In particular, the writings of Plato, Aristotle, and the later Hellenistic and Byzantine philosophers have exercised enduring influence on Christian theology, especially in the Patristic and medieval Byzantine periods.

The Master of Greek Philosophy cultivates advanced capacity for critical engagement with the key figures, texts, and ideas of the ancient and Byzantine Greek philosophical tradition, preparing graduates to integrate these insights in further scholarly research, higher education, ministry, or other cultural and professional spheres.
