Symposium on St Severus of Antioch
2 March 2013
Saint Athanasius Coptic Orthodox Theological college is proud to host a symposium dedicated to St Severus of Antioch.
Severus of Antioch is by far one of the most important theologians of the sixth century. Not only was he a great theologian, but an exegete whose biblical explanations were included in the Greek catenae. Severus was also a liturgist who authored several liturgical texts in the Coptic and Syriac tradition such as the monostrophic hymn 'O only begotten".
As a great bishop, he devoted himself to pastoral care as has been studied by Pauline Allen.In order to commemorate fifteen century since his ordination, Saint Athanasius Coptic Orthodox Theological College is pleased to organise a symposium where his works, his time and legacy will be explored.

Public Lecture - Beyond Polarization: Peter Singer and Christian Ethics
12 April 2013
Friday, 12 April 2013 | 6.00pm Carrillo Gantner Theatre Sidney Myer Asia Centre The University of Melbourne PARVILLE VIC 3010
Register:
http://alumni.online.unimelb.edu.au/beyondpolarization
Interaction between Peter Singer and Christian ethicists, to the extent that it has happened at all, has been unproductive and often antagonistic. Singer sees himself as leading a 'Copernican Revolution' against a sanctity of life ethic, while many Christians associate his work with a 'culture of death.' In his recent book, Charles Camosy argues that this polarized understanding of the two positions is a mistake. While their conclusions about abortion and euthanasia may differ, there is surprising overlap in Christian and Singerite arguments, and disagreements are interesting and fruitful. Christians and Singerites can even make common cause in matters such as global poverty and the dignity of non-human animals.
Peter Singer is Australia’s best-known public intellectual. He is Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne’s Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics and Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University’s Center for Human Values.
Charles Comosy is a theologian and ethicist at Fordham University, whose work focuses on bioethics, Catholic social teaching, and distributive justice.
Tony Coady was Boyce Gibson Professor of Philosophy at the University of Melbourne from 1990-1998 and is now Vice Chancellor’s Fellow and Professorial Fellow in the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics at that university.
