Dignity of Workers in the 21st Century: A Symposium Marking the 135th Anniversary of Rerum Novarum
A one-day symposium in London on Friday 15 May reflecting on the enduring relevance of Rerum Novarum (1891) and its vision for the dignity of work in the 21st century.
Now, 135 years after Pope Leo XIII’s landmark social encyclical, we gather to examine how its principles speak into contemporary economic realities: automation, the gig economy, low pay, migration, social care, and the future of work.
The day will bring together inspiring speakers, practitioners, theologians, and policy professionals, including several CCSTP steering group members, for serious reflection and constructive dialogue on how Catholic Social Teaching can shape just responses to today’s labour challenges.
