"INCLUSION, IDENTITY
and DIGNITY"
Address to CHAS Conference
by Bishop Donal McKeown
|
Bishop McKeown, Auxiliary Bishop of Down and Connor and former
Headteacher, with 23 years experience in post 11+ education. In a wide
ranging and well researched consideration of the issues wrapped up in
an ambitious conference theme, Bishop McKeown was both challenging in
his spelling out of the consequences and affirmative in his understanding
of the particular social context in which Scottish Catholic schools
seek to promote a distinctive vision that is too readily portrayed as
sectarian. “..we could
espouse a vision of a more radical equality where it is possible to
create structures that actively work against the tendency for most things
to advantage the already advantaged.”
