Sacred Threads: Catholic Spirituality in Australia 1922-1962

by Katherine Massam, Pauline Reilly

Three sections explore the complex lives of ordinary people who continually made choices about the way they expressed their faith. Part one begins with a brief survey of the context of lay Catholics in Adelaide and Perth between 1922 and 1962, considering the place of Catholics in wider society and of lay people within the Church. Part two examines the devotional life of Catholicism. Part three concerns the Catholic mission in the modern world and lay responsibility within the Church. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
