What does episcopal fraternity and communio look like? This central
question is explored through the erudition and experience of
Archbishop Anthony Fisher, Catholic Archbishop of Sydney,
Australia. Unity in Christ, based upon a series of addresses given
to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) at
their Special Assembly in 2022, delves into the themes associated
with episcopal unity. By surveying the Christian tradition,
beginning with the scriptures and then through various periods
(Apostolic generation, patristic, scholastic, Vatican II, recent
post Vatican II developments such as synodality) a coherent picture
of episcopal togetherness is presented. What becomes clear is that
unity among Christ's disciples and their successors is not simply
an ideal but rather a constitutive element of their office. They
are called to love as Christ loved, expressed above all through
genuine friendship with one another. The consequences of this
fraternity and communio have implications in areas such as
spirituality, preaching and fraternal correction, among others.
This second feature, the implications of episcopal fraternity and
communio, are explored through Archbishop Fisher's twenty years of
experience as a bishop of the Catholic Church. By providing
concrete examples of lived episcopal fraternity and communio,
Fisher offers a glimpse into both the challenges and fruits of
living out Christ's call that ""they might all be one"" (Jn 17:21).

EQUNET is a 3-year project researching the state of equity in
Higher Education in Europe. The project aims to create an
evidence-based policy advocacy network, so as to promote its
conclusions as a way to promote better-informed policy making on
equity issues in Europe. This is the first of three annual reports,
and gives a general overview of the access to Higher Education in
Europe, with comparisons amongst the EU 27 + EEA countries for a
number of indicators, including: - entry into Higher Education -
equity as defined by socio-economic background - income and
expenditure of students in Higher Education - the effect of work on
studies. The report also uses this data to make insights on
perceptions of equity from European policymakers, consider the
validity of different ways of measuring equity and the validity of
current policy-initiatives.
Can the Hippocratic and Judeo-Christian traditions be synthesized
with contemporary thought about practical reason, virtue and
community to provide real-life answers to the dilemmas of
healthcare today? Bishop Anthony Fisher discusses conscience,
relationships and law in relation to the modern-day controversies
surrounding stem cell research, abortion, transplants, artificial
feeding and euthanasia, using case studies to offer insight and
illumination. What emerges is a reason-based bioethics for the
twenty-first century; a bioethics that treats faith and reason with
equal seriousness, that shows the relevance of ancient wisdom to
the complexities of modern healthcare scenarios and that offers new
suggestions for social policy and regulation. Philosophical
argument is complemented by Catholic theology and analysis of
social and biomedical trends, to make this an auspicious example of
a new generation of Catholic bioethical writing which has relevance
for people of all faiths and none.
