Since , this award-winning program has engaged the interests of scholars, seniors, students, philosophers and non-philosophers through stimulating dialogue and the passionate exchange of ideas. Moderator: Marilyn Meden. Presenter: Simon Fraser University. When doing business within Canada and internationally, how much should ethics matter? What does being elderly mean to a person, to society or to the government in the larger world?
Is it an attitude, a physical ability, an age? How is it changing? Could there be a time when the best choice regarding death and dying would be medical assistance? Democracy is, at best, an imperfect system. What would make it better?
Can there be a better system? You will have a chance to air your views and to listen to those of others on religious, spiritual and related topics. Moderator: John Slattery who holds a diploma in Theological Studies. What is Human Nature? What kind of creatures are we? Religions have developed a variety of answers to this question, and so has secular society. So what are we to believe? Communal Living in Religious Groups From the monasteries of the middle ages, the flowering of the Shakers in the nineteenth centuries, the Israeli Kibbutz of the mid-twentieth century, communal living in religious groups has sought to develop in their members a deeper spirituality.
These groups have pulled away from the larger world while interacting with it in various ways. How well has this worked? How do they differ? And how do they regard each other? The Gospels are remarkably lacking when it comes to the birth of Jesus. Did his birth really take place at the end of December? What really was the star that the Magi followed? For that matter, just who were the Magi? And for those who are sceptical about the whole business, is there any benefit in repeating these stories every year?
