With Genevieve Jacobs 


Emeritus Professor John Warhurst AO considers the Plenary Council 2021-2022 a crucial, once-in-a-generation opportunity to advance the reforms of the Catholic Church. 

Warhurst’s unique perspective as a Church insider-outsider means that he walks a fine line. As an insider, he works within the Church in many leadership and governance roles; as an outsider, he leads ginger groups and lobbies for change through both Church and mainstream media.

Wrestling with the Church Hierarchy includes previously published articles, unpublished correspondence and speeches written by Warhurst, as well as a new introduction and new introductory text to each chapter. 

Wrestling with the Church Hierarchy: Engaging with the Plenary Council and Beyond is an insightful must-read for anyone interested in Church reform, and the upcoming Plenary Council.

The book is available on the night for a special price of $25.
