Australian eJournal of Theology

From the Editor

A group of articles in this issue were originally presented at the Practical Theology Conference on "Health and Healing", Trinity College, University of Melbourne, November 2007. The theme of the conference is directly taken up with reference to Mental Health (Emma Pierce), the "Wounded Adolescent" (Mary Eastham), Health Care (Mark Shaw), Healthy Shame (Tom Ryan), HIV/Aids in PNG (Phil Gibbs) and Generative Love (Bet Green). Two articles focus on youth issues and spirituality: Paul Tyson's "Spectral View of Contemporary Australian Youth"; and Richard Rymarz's timely piece on "Pilgrims at World Youth Day".
