Join us on Thursday for our Conspiracy Theories series in collaboration with ISCAST.

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL APPEAL OF CONSPIRACY THINKING
Why do conspiracy theories appeal to so many people? Join Rev. Dr Maja Whitaker to explore the psychological pull of conspiracy theorism and consider how conspiracy theories address fundamental human needs, provide compelling narratives, and foster powerful social networks.

Dr Whitaker is Academic Dean and lecturer in Practical Theology at Laidlaw College in New Zealand, based at the Christchurch campus. She comes to theology from a background in anatomical science and bioethics, and is an ordained pastor in the ACTS movement.

We wish our Buddhist community, and everyone celebrating, a very happy Vesak.

Vesak, also known as Buddha Day, marks the Buddha’s birth, his enlightenment, and his passing. It's a time to reflect on how we live and to be kind and caring to others. People celebrate by meditating, chanting, and doing good deeds.

If you celebrate Vesak, we would love to hear how you mark this special day.
