They say that death and taxes are the two great inevitables. When it comes to our own death, or the death of a friend or family member, moral dilemmas abound and the ethical choices that confront us may seem overwhelming, or just plain confusing.
This coming Saturday the Centre for Apologetic Scholarship and Education at New College, at the University of NSW, is holding a conference on “Christian perspectives on the end of life.”
Dr Megan Best will talk about euthanasia; Kate Bradford will tackle the equally controversial issue of evangelism with the terminally ill; Dr Frank Brennan will discuss challenges of palliative care; there’s geriatrician Dr Russell Clark on attitudes to ageing; and I’ll be giving the keynote address on a biblical view of death.
Seats are still available, but you’ll have to hurry. You can download registration forms at www.nswchurches.com, or contact New College. I’m Rod Benson.
Broadcast on 2CH Sydney, Sunday 21 March 2010.
