Public Research Seminar: Religion and Society
Over recent years, the relationship between religion and society has changed markedly. In this secular age, most Australians no longer see religion as foundational to society. Indeed, in relation to what has arisen from the sexual abuse Royal Commission, society has taken the moral high ground.
Yet, the study of the economic impact of religion on society shows that religion contributes substantially to the welfare of Australians, and essays in the latest edition of the Journal of Contemporary Ministry illustrate how this occurs through welfare programs and chaplaincy. Religions themselves are in dialogue with each other.
The afternoon will discuss a range of research which explores the complex interactions that are taking place today between religion and society. Join us for a thought-provoking afternoon that has great implications for future ministry.
Further details and the online link will be sent after you complete the registration.
