Ethical dilemmas to be discussed in Pateley Bridge
Sex, death, war and artificial intelligence will be discussed in a series of monthly Food for Thought talks by a leading theologian in Pateley Bridge.
Dr Peter Vardy, who has written extensively on religion and ethics and was vice-principal of Heythrop Jesuit College in London, from 1998 to 2011, will lead the events at St Cuthbert’s Church.
For more than 30 years he has run conferences for GCSE and A level students in this country and overseas.
Dr Vardy, whose first talk will take place next month, said:
Everyone from within the parish and beyond is welcome to attend the Food for Thought events.
The Vicar of St Cuthbert's, Revd Darryl Hall, said:
Starting on September 6 with the subject of 'how to make ethical decisions', the 45-minute talks will start at 7pm followed by 15 minutes for questions. Refreshments will be available from 6.30pm.
The other subjects to be covered are:
- Euthanasia and Death (October 4)
- Sex, Fertility, New Methods of Reproduction and Marriage (November 8)
- Can Wars be Just? (December 6)
- Money, Power and Economic Justice (January 10)
- Artificial Intelligence (February 7)
