“Affairs of the heart – the longings of life” – a BeThinking talk
Guest speaker: Tom Price
Saturday 5 July, starting at 7pm with doughnuts and coffee
There are are deep longings in our hearts. We try to fulfil them in many different ways. We all want to be happy, successful, intimate with others, healthy, safe and whole as people, attractive and popular, satisfied and content, in a place that is home to us. How have Christian thinkers like C.S. Lewis (writer of the Narnia stories) understood these longings? Can these needs be met? And how can they be met?
Tom Price, our guest speaker, is part of the team at Damaris, an educational charity that seeks to relate biblical Christian faith and contemporary popular culture. He has a degree in philosophy, and has written a number of articles on how current culture and Christianity relate to each other. He was the founding editor of the award-winning website bethinking.org from which this talk takes its name.
