Healthy, Wealthy and Wise: Thinking Christianly About Everyday Issues

Under the three topics we will be looking at a range of questions including (but not limited to) those below:

 

HEALTH

  • Is there a “right to health”?
  • Just because we can, does it mean we should?
  • Is physical health the ultimate good? “At least you’ve got your health”
  • What does that say about death and dying?
  • Mental health and personhood

The venues are:

October 5                MARAZION         (Community Centre)

October 11               LAUNCESTON    (Town Hall)

Each Roadshow begins at 7pm and aims to end by 9pm.

 

WEALTH

  • What makes a prosperous society? How should we measure prosperity?
  • The widening gap between rich and poor? Is it inevitable? Is it wrong?
  • How far do we go to encourage wealth-creation?
  • What do we do about poverty? Does God have a “bias to the poor?”
  • What’s the point of taxation?

The venues are:

October 13                        PENRYN        (College)

October 17                        BODMIN         (St Petroc’s)

Each Roadshow begins at 7pm and aims to end by 9pm.

 

WISDOM

  • What’s the point of education? What is the aim of education?
  • What kind of education do we need to produce the society we want?
  • Wisdom and knowledge
  • What role does faith have in education?

The venues are:

November 8       St ERME           (Community Centre)
