"I'm Listening", Taylor Barnett & The Taylor Barnett Quartet
"Choose Today: A Christian's View of Economics", Dr. Stephen Day
In Christian thought, God is the creator and sovereign owner of all things. At the same time, humans are sub-creators and stewards within God's creation. These statements create tensions and opportunities for the method of thinking that we call economics, which is the study of how people make choices (for good or ill) about scarce resources. This talk will introduce the logic of economic thinking, while discussing ways that Christian faith can lend meaning and direction to some of the puzzles that confront the economic thinker.
"Suffering, Evil and God, Part 2", Dr. Andrew Moon (Philosophy)
Some religious traditions, such as Christianity, teach that some people will experience everlasting suffering in Hell in the afterlife. How can an all-loving and all-just God be reconciled with such a teaching? In this session, we will explore some reasons God might have for sending people to everlasting suffering in Hell. Then we will explore whether such a teaching provides people with a strong reason to believe that Christianity is false.
"Suffering, Evil and God, Part 1", Dr. Andrew Moon (Philosophy, VCU)
We experience and observe suffering and evil in this life. If there is an all-loving and all-powerful God, why would God allow it? In this session, we will explore some reasons God might have for allowing suffering and evil. Then we will explore whether such suffering and evil provides people with a strong reason to think that God does not exist.
How to Have a Political Conversation without Losing Friends: What Some Sciences Say
Presented by Dr. Everett Worthington (Emeritus Commonwealth Professor at VCU) at Scholé House on September 9th, 2019. A survey showed that fully one-sixth of the people in the USA reported losing a relationship with a close friend or family member as a result of political conversations after the 2016 election. My theme of this talk is that we can have a discussion, fully committed to our political values and opinions, without losing friends. Various sciences have things to say about how to have such conversations.
