What is Social Justice

Macarthur Social Justice Network is excited to have Mr John Ferguson, National Executive Officer of the Australian Catholic Social Justice Council, coming to speak to the next meeting about "What is Social Justice?".

The meeting will be held at St Thomas More Parish Hall in Ruse on Saturday February 12th starting at 2.30pm.

The Australian Catholic Social Justice Council (ACSJC) was set up by the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference (ACBC) in 1987 as the national justice and peace agency of the Catholic Church in Australia. It aims to promote research, education, advocacy and action on social justice, peace and human rights, integrating them deeply into the life of the whole community
in Australia, and providing a credible voice on these matters in Australian society.

As the National Executive Officer, John Ferguson has a deep knowledge and understanding of what social justice means, the issues affecting social justice, and the current policies and trends in the field. Many people have heard the term 'social justice' but do not know or misunderstand the meaning of the term.

In this talk John Ferguson will answer the question "What is Social Justice" followed by a discussion of the social justice issues in the Macarthur region.

Anyone wishing to attend is asked to contact Michael on 46206047 or email secretary@msjn.org for catering purposes.
