Events coming up
This feed contains details of events coming up soon, put on by the CICCU. We also have a short summary of events we regularly run.
FLT: Why is Christianity growing everywhere but the West?
Is Christianity not a Western religion? Is its scientifically enlightened, post-modern society a factor in the decline of Christianity in the West and a sign we’re out-growing it? Or are we missing something that the rest of the world seems to be getting? Stephen Boon will be speaking on this question.
Fri 18 May, 1:10pm - 1:50pm -- St Andrew the Great (opposite Christ's)
FLT: Suffering: Divine negligence?
Everywhere we look today we can find suffering in some form: injustice, pain, heartache, loss, fatigue… we can go on and on with a list of our own forms of suffering, let alone those of, say, those in the poverty-stricken nations across the world. But where does God fit into this? Does He even care? Is the world endlessly suffering, in big ways or small, because of something He is doing or has done? David Illman will be speaking on this question.
Fri 25 May, 1:10pm - 1:50pm -- St Andrew the Great (opposite Christ's)
FLT: Can we love the God of the Old Testament?
Is the God of the Old Testament not depicted as a blood-thirsty dictator, willing to smite entire nations that annoy Him and lay down merciless laws? Why would Christians ever want to believe in such a God? How can anyone even tolerate someone like that, let alone love them? Charlie Skrine will be speaking on this question.
Fri 1 Jun, 1:10pm - 1:50pm -- St Andrew the Great (opposite Christ's)
FLT: Can we fix the world without God?
In 2012 there exist more charitable organisations across the globe than ever dedicated to helping all sorts of people in need. Moreover, governments are largely united in fighting terrorism, helping the environment and all sorts of major issues. But even on the smaller side, there are more counsellors, therapists, doctors, physicians, etc than ever! We seem to have things roughly in hand; so is God really necessary? Or does the problem run deeper? Dan Strange will be speaking on this question.
Fri 8 Jun, 1:10pm - 1:50pm -- St Andrew the Great (opposite Christ's)
Interfaith Debate
A speaker will represent each faith on the topic 'Is it enough just to be good?' followed by a question time. A brilliant chance to bring Muslim or Jewish friends to discuss their and our faith. Or pitch up on your own: there'll be lots of Jewish and Islamic society members there who would be great to sit next to and discuss with.
Thu 14 Jun, 7:30pm - 8:45pm -- Postponed - Provisional date and time
