It’s been about 18 months since we had our last Salt Live event. For those who have recently joined us, Salt Live is a series of events engaging thoughtful Londoners on questions of faith, life and philosophy. We will be joined by speaker Simon Edwards on the 5th October, 2021 who will be speaking on the subject Christianity: Poison or Antidote? You can find more information about the event below. Please do sign-up here, and feel free to bring along your friends.
Christianity: Poison or Antidote?
Is Christianity a dangerous problem or the solution to our search for lasting contentment?
Religion causes so many of humanity's greatest problems. Division. Intolerance. Conflict. We no longer think that faith is a harmless choice; it is now seen as a dangerous delusion. And yet, religious people report higher levels of personal satisfaction and meaning. How can both be true? Is Christianity part of the problem or is it the solution?
Whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or an impartial observer, join us for a thought-provoking evening, with our speaker Simon Edwards, as he wrestles with whether Christianity is harmful for us or the remedy to our unfulfilled longings. The evening will include plenty of drinks and nibbles, an engaging talk from Simon and plenty of opportunity for Q&A and discussion.
