Andy Hamilton is a Jesuit priest, a deep thinker and the final subject of this Wise Old Souls series. For many years Andy has contributed widely to theological and religious journals and has been editorial consultant for Eureka Street.

He’s taught theology and church history at the United Faculty of Theology in Melbourne for many years and he’s worked extensively with refugee communities and has written on the conditions of asylum seekers in Australia.

So where now for the church and how best do we nurture the faith for future generations?

For Andy Hamilton the answer lies in the need to integrate the faith into the world in which we live and relating it to the everyday issues that we all face.
