131. Janet Galos - 10 September 2023
Manage episode 375990132 series 3324566
23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time - Matthew 18:15-20
After a long career in secondary and disability education in QLD and NSW, Janet now lives in retirement in Brisbane. She has post graduate degrees in Education and Theology, has been a long-time member of WATAC and meditator with the WCCM since 2008. Aquinas Academy in Sydney was another valued alma mater for many years. One major turning point in her life was having a child with a disability: recognising both the gift and the challenge. Another was the happy accident of doing a “wrong” subject and having to complete the next to come up: “Christian Spirituality and Ecology”. And seeing the world differently all over again.
Her passion now lies in bringing together various elements of the Christian tradition which will shape a vibrant 21st century spirituality: one that is both in tune with modern cultural and scientific understandings and inspired and energized by the contemplative way.
Janet completed the Laudato Si Facilitators training in 2022, and is currently involved in several eco-focussed groups in the local parish and archdiocese. As well as campaigning for “ecological conversion” and eco-justice locally, she has given presentations on feminist and eco-spirituality themes to local, national and international groups.
Currently, she is enjoying getting to know her new grandchild, getting out into the natural world with local bushwalkers, and attending theatre and concerts with her daughter (who also loves classical music). Life is gift!
