What's
in a name?
The name Terra Spiritus ties the
past with the present, challenging Australia's status
as 'terra nullius', only recently cast-off, and acknowledging
the gift and presence of the
Spirit in this land and its people from the earliest aboriginal
communities to the present day.
Australia is, as the Portuguese
explorer Pedro Fernandez de Quiros declared on Pentecost
Sunday in 1606, the Great South Land of the Holy Spirit.
The use of Latin for the title taps into the Christian heritage
brought to this land by its European colonisers.
Our Vision

in our lives, inspiring its readers to a renewed and
refreshed experience of Christian spirituality.Through

and nurture an ongoing relationship with God. |
