Are (protest) atheists excluded from the table of God?

September 15th, 2020


Are (protest) atheists excluded from the table of God? Thursday 22 October, 7:30pm - 9pm.
The pandemic, like all pandemics and catastrophes (human-made and natural like the holocaust and the Lisbon earthquake), cause people to not just question the existence of G-d, but also to accuse G-d (Voltaire’s “j’accuse”) of standing by and doing nothing (the bystander syndrome).

Essentially, G-d is accused of committing a war crime. In Christian theological terms, we call any defence of G-d a theodicy (from the Greek ‘God-justice’). Come and join Nikolai for a discussion on this vital and timely question. His 20 minute presentation will be followed by a Q & A session, starting at 7:30pm and finishing promptly at 9pm. 22 October Zoom link: https://gippslandgrammar.zoom.us/j/7874319962
