  • Church and State Relations in the Constitution of Malta
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Analecta Cracoviensia Polonia Sacra 22 (2018) nr 2 (51) ∙ s. 175–199 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15633/ps.2505 Kevin Aquilina1 University of Malta Church and State Relations in the Constitution of Malta The Constitution of Malta (hereinafter ‘the Constitution’), the highest law of the land, regulates the relationship between the Catholic Church and the State of Malta. This is because there are a number of provisions in the Constitution which refer to the Roman Catholic Apostolic Church and to religion as discussed below. First, there is the provision which includes the Catholic religion amongst the state’s symbols. Then there is the provision which regulates the teaching of religion in state schools. Finally, there are provisions in the Constitution which deal with freedom of conscience and worship. It is understandable that the Constitution contains such provisions on the Church and on religion because Malta is a Catholic country. However, this paper recounts, from a historic and le- gal perspective, that recent secularisation trends are eroding the special status that the Church and the Catholic religion have enjoyed in Maltese society and, the more time passes, it appears that Malta is moving in the footsteps of Western Europe of losing its religious character to substi- tute it with a more secular outlook. This is evident from the legislation surveyed in this paper which tends to inspire itself less for the making 1 Professor Kevin Aquilina is the Dean of the Faculty of Laws at the University of Malta.

    THE MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 161 April 2017 Mirror By Nicola Agius © Provided by Trinity Mirror Plc Credits: B&Q Britain's biggest family The Radfords are set to welcome a new addition to their brood - as mum Sue Radford is pregnant with her 20th child. Sue - whose family have their own reality show, 19 Kids And Counting - confirmed the happy news today by sharing a picture of a scan on social media. She then shared a picture of a chalkboard revealing the latest arrival is due in September 2017. She was immediately inundated with messages from friends and fans congratulating her and Noel for 'evening out' their number of offspring. "Wow congratulations to you all.. hats off to ya your amazing xx," said one admiring follower. "Massive congratulations Sue Noel and your amazing brood! Hope all goes well xx," wrote another. It comes after the family opened up about their Christmas plans on This Morning in December 2016. Noel and Sue, from Heysham, Lancashire, welcomed their 19th baby Phoebe in July last year. They are also parents to Chris, 27, Sophie, 22, Chloe, 21, Jack, 19, Daniel, 17, Luke, 15, Millie, 14, Katie, 13, James, 12, Ellie, 11, Aimee, 10, Josh, 9, Max, 7, Tilly, 6, Oscar 4, Casper, 3 and toddler Hallie.

Explaining ahead of the festive season how it will work, Noel said: "It's going to be like a conveyor belt.

    MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 305 February 2020 1 MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 305 February 2020 Published on Wednesday 22 January 2020 Director of Funding and Strategy, Arts Council Malta, Mary Ann Cauchi, glances at the Create2020 Strategy and what’s in store to continue achieving high levels of excellence and develop Malta’s creative sector.The creative vision of the Create2020 Strategy implemented through nine strategic tools which included: • funding programmes supporting various projects in the creative industries; • creative brokerage serving as the first point of reference for difficulties and assistance; • educational and training initiatives focusing on artistic practice requirements; • a community cultural exchange developing a rich and varied artistic and innovative life; • nurturing of business development; • promotion of the development of a sustainable creative economy; • internationalisation placing Malta’s international cultural profile on global platforms beyond Europe; • research providing a stronger knowledge base; • communication allowing knowledge transfer with various stakeholders. Throughout this past year in my role as Director of Funding and Strategy, it has been a great pleasure meeting a diverse range of people and understanding their needs through various processes such as focus groups, one-to-one or group meetings, workshops, networking or information sessions. In fact, gaining valuable first-hand information straight from the source is one of my favourite elements of the job. 2020 is a pivotal year for the creative sector and for Arts Council Malta, both internally and externally, an evaluation of the progress covered to date and consultation for the next strategy 2021-2025 will take place. It is forecasted that the new strategy will continue to place the arts and creativity at the heart of Malta’s future and making sure to engage a wider audience.

  • Birgu Promontory Their Knowledge and Experience to Successive Generations of Workers
    spread along the coast and some of them could also be seen reaching out into the sea. From the places of worship built in this area, one may conclude that Christians, both of the Byzantine and Roman rites, Hebrews and, even Muslims, although no tangible proof of any mosque exists, all practiced their beliefs in this area. The shores beneath the Castle are the cradle of the technology and craftsmanship of the Island. As early as 1374, in the vicinity of Fort St.Angelo, there was already a well-established dockyard where galleys were built or repaired. In 1501, a bigger dockyard was built. Later, the Order built another one which was considered as the best in the Mediterranean. Eventually, many craftsmen and tradesmen passed on Aerial view of Birgu promontory their knowledge and experience to successive generations of workers.
