ArtCultural Heritage Through Music

Alex Vella Gregory

Cultural Heritage is not about inanimate objects or old buildings. It is about stories and experiences. Music has a crucial role in the preservation, dissemination, and continuation of those stories, and must work in conjunction with other disciplines in order to ensure our cultural enrichment and be a positive change in the world.

Our Common HomeThe Land always Remembers

Mario Gerada

In Christianity we learn that a central expression of faith is remembrance. As Pope Francis told us in his visit to Malta this year, we need to remember how to be kind, also to our land.

Our Common HomeMultiple Identities, Bits of Nations coming together

Regine Nguini Psaila

To say that migration is a human right sounds like a tautology, given the facts: the world is multicultural, and multiracial (for those who hold to the concept of race).

Our Common HomeMaltese NGOs: Stories of hope with a focus of community building aspect.

Miriam Theuma

In an ideal world, no NGOs will be necessary, as the people in authority should be conscious of what is necessary for better living, and should work for what is right without the need to be pushed into doing so. Until this happens, NGOs will have to struggle through, with the hope that things get better.

Politics, Economics & TechThe egalitarian role of welfare state policies (compulsory education, free health care, state pensions) in Europe (social policy/history)

Anne Marie Thake

Are we being complacent and taking the welfare state for granted? Is there a general sense of entitlement that could potentially endanger the welfare state?

Our Common HomeOut of place: experiences of belonging in Malta

Peter Farrugia

Any open attitude towards dialogue cannot ignore the implications of “migration as crisis”, which has been a generic phrase in media, political and academic discourses since the early 2010s. We are still, in many ways, under its shadow.

Our Common HomeMulticultural Malta – a prophesized threat or historical feature?

Matthias Ebejer

The following is a reflection on history, even though it will invariably discuss events and implications that are more recent. The reason for this is that it deals with concepts of memory, or rather the lack of it, in the shaping of a perceived identity.

Church in Society“You are God’s temple”

Alexander Zammit

A Word easily forgotten echoes profoundly in our scarcely populated temples

Our Common HomePlease don’t interrupt me! I’m in a crisis!

Anthony Mifsud

Like a train going at full speed we cannot afford to slow down our economic/other activity. What we're not realising is that there is no way of surviving a crisis, unless we slow down, live through it & then changing into a new system. Whether at school, at home, at the workplace, nation or global wide.

Church in SocietySocially lonely?

Matthew Pulis

One question I often get from parents of Gen Z's after they hear of my dabbling with digital theology is: What can I do? My child is always hooked on their mobile device! I am afraid there is something wrong with them! The aim of this short reflection is to try to answer whether we should be worried that our youth are socially alone or rather they are teaching us a new ecclesiology?
