Research, Teaching and the Purpose of Catholic Higher Education -
Pamela Taylor, Principal, Newman College of Higher Education
Pamela Taylor continues the conversation begun by Professor Gerald Grace (June 2003 issue) on the preservation of a research culture in Catholic colleges. She identifies areas in which the collaborative work described by Gerald Grace and supported by John Sullivan, notably in applied research that informs developmental engagement in teaching and related social areas of activity. She also interestingly extends the province of such research to the future of the Church, linking school/parish interaction as one area crying out for investigation “re-conceptualisation” of parish development.

"Consecrated Persons and Their Mission in Our Schools" - John Lydon
John Lydon from his perspective as teacher and part-time lecturer engaged in doctoral research on Catholic Education, is well placed to bring this latest document from the Congregation for Catholic Education to a wider audience. John’s extensive piece is a must for any student of Catholic education e.g. every teacher, governor… This is much more than just a review of a Vatican document.

“BERA a the Catholic Profile” Professor Gerald Grace
Professor Grace in this introduction to what has become a regular feature of this journal, reports on the annual conference of the British Educational Research Association (1999). He outlines the relatively few contributions addressing issues in Catholic schools.

In a most worthy attempt to address this imbalance, Professor Grace has established The Centre for Research and Development in Catholic Education hosted by the London Institute of Education. The article outlines the actual contributions to the conference relating to Catholic schools.
