Welcome!

Welcome to the new blog from the Albertus Institute, Scotland! You can learn all about the blog and the Institute here.

As you'll see from that link, the initial purpose of the blog is to supplement the material in our course, Thinking through Catholic Social Teaching (which commences on 24 September 2014 and runs for 10 weeks in Edinburgh. Online registration for the course is available now here). Both before and during that course, I -and other members of the Institute- will be posting about the central themes in the course, and encouraging discussion in the comment boxes.

I'm happy to admit both the blog and the course are a bit of a new venture for us -so I'm viewing both as a collaborative effort to explore the Church's teaching in this area rather than just an opportunity for me to lecture you. All contributions are therefore very welcome!

As is obvious, this blog is 'under construction'. So please watch this space... (I'll be aiming to post new material at least weekly from now on until the end of the course.)
