Modern society is global and ‘always on’. Time is precious.
Recognising this, Flashes of Insight is short-form, theologically grounded commentary.
Events, challenges and questions inside the Catholic Church, and broader society are its seedbed.
Its mission is to engage with people around the English-speaking world, offering challenging and hope-filled commentary and analysis on local events with global implications.
Flashes’ focus readership will be literate English-speaking Catholics who are moving forward in their thinking and faith and who want to see the Church grow, respond, and evolve. These people know the importance of comment and analysis in a post-Vatican II context and as the basis of pastoral theology.
By embracing the mantra ‘Local action—Global thinking,’ Flashes ensures its insights are locally grounded and address broader Catholic and global societal contexts, offering perspectives that resonate across a wide range of communities.
Flashes of insight can be expressed in a range of media styles: Comment and analysis, images, video, book reviews, reflections.
