    Holding on to Hope. Walking with Viktor Frankl and Hobbits (Eli Kappelgaard, Psychologist)

    How do we hold on to hope and a sense of meaning when life is difficult?  Dr. Frankl was imprisoned in a concentration camp during WWII and fascinated by the power of hope for humans as meaning-seeking beings and Professor of Sociology, Aaron Antonovsky, is especially known for the theory of "Sense of Coherence". We’ll explore what each of them  discovered in their search for Meaning and look into how it can be relevant today in our everyday lives.

    Beginning the Conversation: Disability and The Kingdom of God (Ali Kendall, friend of English L'Abri)

    Amy Julia Becker, a Disability Theologian says “I’ve come to believe that if I understand God’s logic around disability, I’ve come to understand God’s logic about humanity.” Drawing on personal experiences of parenting a child with Downs Syndrome and Autism and supporting a husband with a chronic health condition, Ali introduces us to the work of Disability Theologians to explore questions such as: Why does contemplating how God sees Disability matter to each of us? What can it teach us about being made in the image of God, our intrinsic worth, the importance of belonging, and the joy found in doing life differently?

    Wellness Culture: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (Joel Barricklow, English L'Abri worker)

    This lecture explores the promises, products, and people of 'Wellness Culture'. After a brief history of the movement, we explore how capitalism, science, and technology have shaped it in the 21st century. We'll then articulate an alternative understanding of health and wellness seen in Christianity—a much more accessible, inclusive, and hopeful vision, particularly for those in society who need health the most: the sick, the elderly, the disabled, and marginalised.

Amidst these competing utopian/dystopian futures, what does it look like to have Christian hope?
