Theology in the City Conference September 23-27, 2024

Theology in The City, 2024 edition Looking for a Home INTRODUCTION The overarching theme of Theology in the City 2024 Edition is “Looking for a Home.” From September 23 to 27, 2024, different groups will approach the theme from various angles and gradually zoom in from planet Earth as our home to Canada, Montreal, and downtown as the home of thousands of people. Coming from many different backgrounds, whether students or businesspeople, homeless people and older people, Indigenous people, and tourists, they all try to make this beautiful city a temporary or permanent home for themselves and others in many different ways. On Monday, members of the Montreal Biblical Colloquium will discuss the earth as God’s creation. We will ask ourselves whether the Bible is still relevant today and what we can learn from Scripture regarding ecology and peace. How can we keep our planet free of climate catastrophes, war, conflict, and forced immigration? On Tuesday, the Lonergan Group will examine his philosophy of lifelong learning and how it can contribute to a better awareness and orientation towards the real and the good. They will also discuss how one can practice this daily and apply it to the many challenges of his world. On Wednesday, members of the St. Jax and St. Andrew &#38; St. Paul Church communities will look at the challenges the digital world poses to all of us. Especially young people, who, after years of COVID-19 forced lockdown, loneliness and anxiety about the future when looking for a home for themselves, often seem to turn to an increasingly virtual reality. On Thursday, members of the McGill Office of Religious and Spiritual Life and Concordia’s Multi-Faith and Spirituality Center will examine the challenges that interacting with people of different backgrounds, religious views, and political views poses to daily... <br /><br /><a class="readmore" href="https://mst-etm.ca/theology-in-the-city-conference-september-23-27-2024/">Read More</a>
