Wesley Conversations that matter #3 facing death in a death denying-culture

with Dr Brian Macallan - theologian, philosopher, and author of "Forgiving God: Embracing a Risky Adventure with the Divine"

How does our understanding of death inform the way we live? How do we talk about death in a culture that prefers not to think about it? Can suffering ever be redemptive? How should thinking about suffering and death inform the way we think about God, or the absence of God? Dr Brian Macallan is a theologian, philosopher, and cancer-survivor. In this Wesley Conversation, he will talk to Robyn Whitaker about facing his own death and how his notions of God radically changed as a result.

Join us as we talk with John Pesutto, Liberal member for Hawthorn and former Leader of the Opposition in Victoria, and Bronwyn Pike, former Labor MP and current CEO of Uniting VicTas, about the state of our democracy, the big issues this election, and the values behind the politics.
