InterfaceTheology is a biannual refereed journal of theology
published in print, epub and open access by ATF Press in Australia.
The journal is a scholarly ecumenical and interdisciplinary
publication, aiming to serve the church and its mission, promoting
a broad based interpretation of Christian theology within a
trinitarian context, encouraging dialogue between Christianity and
other faiths, and exploring the interface between faith and
culture. It is published in English for an international audience.
In November 2012 the Australian federal government announced the
establishment of a Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to
Child Sexual Abuse . This Royal Commission was set up after many
years of reports of sexual abuse in Australia within religious
institutions of various Christian churches, some state government
inquiries and in the context of inquiries in other countries, most
notably Ireland. The Royal Commission began its first hearing in
April 2013. It has been forecast that the Commission will be
hearing submissions for a number of years from witnesses, both from
those who ask to speak to the Royal Commissioners and from those
who will be asked to appear before the Commission. At the same time
as the establishment of the Royal Commission, the Catholic Church
in Australia established a Truth, Justice and healing Council to
oversee the Catholic Church s engagement with the Royal Commission.
This collection brings together essays from biblical scholars, a
church historian, theologians, ministers of religion from a number
of churches, lawyers and a psychologist. They each address the
issues of sexual abuse, society and the church in the context of
the Australian inquiries. The volume ends with an overview of the
processes engaged with by the Catholic Church and the State in the
Republic of Ireland and reactions to these inquiries. The volume of
essays considers sexual abuse from the perspective of the victims.
What is to be done about the mess we are in over clerical sexual
abuse? That question is puzzling concerned people today. This
diverse collection offers them profitable reading, wherever they
are coming from. It has enough useful suggestions and ideas to
stimulate the calm, intelligent discussion now demanded by our
communities. Edmund Campion, Australian Catholic University"
