The
Sydney Lonergan Centre exists to promote the ongoing work of
Bernard Lonergan, SJ (pictured at right). Lonergan was a Canadian
Philosopher-Theologian who died in 1984. His life's work was to
produce a Method in Theology that met the standards set by modern
science, modern history and modern scholarship. The
Lonergan Centre of Sydney, which Fr Fred Crowe SJ of the Lonergan Research Institute
helped Peter Beer bring to Australia, sets out in a broad way to
continue Bernard Lonergan's work by advancing theology and
philosophy that both meets the high standards of today's world
and addresses some of the more important issues pertaining to
philosophy, theology and methodology.
The Centre's activities focus on our Library, hosting the Australian Lonergan Workshop, Publications and being a focal point for Lonergan studies in Australia. The Centre's personnel and associates range in interests ranging from theology and philosophy to science, education and law.
The Director of the Lonergan Centre of Sydney is Fr Peter Beer, SJ.
Our Library
The Lonergan Centre of Sydney holds the "Lonergan Library" a collection of primary sources by Bernard Lonergan and a number of secondary sources either on Lonergan, or used by Lonergan in his own work. Although small by the standards of most libraries, we are proud of the quality of our specialised collection, which holds, among other works, all published works by Bernard Lonergan (and a number of unpublished sources.)
Use of the Lonergan Library is open to associates of the Centre. For information on the Library, please contact the Centre's Secretary, Matthew Ogilvie.
Australian Lonergan Workshop
Every two years, the Sydney or Melbourne
Centre hosts the
Australian Lonergan Workshop -- a gathering of Lonergan scholars
and interested folk, during which we enjoy the delivery of papers
on Lonergan studies, interspersed with congenial and lively discussion.
Interstate visitors to the Sydney Centre have the chance
to peruse the latest acquisitions of the Lonergan Library, which are kindly sent
to us by the Lonergan Research Institute
at Toronto.
