Upcoming: Module 3 – Virtues and Becoming Better Persons
In today’s marketplace of ideas, there are many different moralities, and we are often asked to keep what we believe to ourselves. But is Christian morality meant to be kept private within Christian communities? What is Christian morality anyway?
Join us as we explore why Christian morality may be the answer to the wounded human nature and the role of God’s grace. We will also consider why the Church has always put so much emphasis on faith, hope and love.
Module 3: Christian Morality
Thursdays, 25 May – 13 July (excluding 29 Jun)
