Ceifin Conference 2007 Resonates in 2008
Even as it departs, the tracks of the Celtic Tiger picked up at last year's 10th Annual Céifin Conference are still fresh. The imprint left by the Celtic Tiger as articulated by the speakers at the two day conference in Ennis are published in full in the latest book documenting the proceedings of the 2007 conference on "Tracking the Tiger- A Decade of Change."
on 23rd Jun 2008
In his foreword to the book, Céifin Centre Founder- Chairman, sociologist Fr. Harry observes- " In less than half a generation, fundamental changes with far-reaching implications have taken place. We have been called on to cope with massive affluence. The economic revolution is to be welcomed. We are now one of the most affluent countries in the world. But the change has been so fast and so revolutionary that other areas of life, expecially in the world of relationships - with self, family, commmunity, creation and the Creator- come under pressure."
In tracking progress since 1998, Fr. Bohan says the Céifin Centre for Values- Led Change is continuing to wonder, debate, and research the values which underpin our society and to pose the questions: How are we coping with this affluence? Where do we find meaning?
"Tracking the Tiger - A Decade of Change" is on sale at €12.95 in Veritas Bookshops nationwide or online @ www.ceifin.com along with previous Céifin Conference and Research Publications.
