In this session weโ€™ll be exploring why authentic community is so essential for our human flourishing, and why it is a non-negotiable for the Christian vision of reality and our call to evangelise the culture around us. Weโ€™ll be unpacking the major currents that have all come together in the modern world to form a โ€˜perfect stormโ€™ of atomised human living that has broken down human community, and what practical things we can do personally, as a parish, and in our families to recover intentional life-giving community.

If you want to learn more about the fundamentals of the Catholic vision of ethics and the human person, or be better equipped next time your non-Catholic family and friends ask the tough questions about why we believe what we believe, you definitely need to be at Salt and Light!

๐Ÿง‚๐Ÿ’ก In this session weโ€™ll be exploring the Catholic teaching about respecting human life when people are terminally ill, disabled, or in their elderly years. We will cover the increasing push for euthanasia and why the Church is uncompromising in her opposition to this. We will also explore some of the confusion around this issue, what a truly humane and caring alternative looks like, and how and why euthanasia has created harms for the vulnerable wherever it has been legalised. ๐Ÿ“ŒFull details at: www.saltandlight.nz
