Helen Caldicott, M.D., pediatrician and internationally recognized author and lecturer, hosts a weekly, one-hour radio program titled If You Love This Planet. Produced by Jasmin WIlliams and Scott Powell. Edited by Jasmin Williams.
In this episode, Dr. Caldicott interviews Father Laurence Mooney, an Augustinian priest based in Melbourne, Australia. For the past five years, Fr. Mooney has worked in the boutique Augustinian seminary in Brookvale, Sydney, attending to the academic, vocational, spiritual, communal and language needs of young men aspiring to be Augustinian priests in Vietnam or Australia. He has lectured on spirituality in various countries, and worked with religious groups from around the world on social justice issues. Among other topics, Dr. Caldicott and Fr. Mooney discuss their childhoods in Australia, the nature of how we know God, the influence of St. Augustin, and how we can contribute to social justice when the Earth is threatened by global warming, nuclear weapons and nuclear power.
