November 15-22, 2020 is Restorative Justice week in Canada and around the world. Please refer to the links below to learn more about the important work being done to bring about hope, healing, truth and reconciliation. “Restorative justice is founded on a vision of justice that heals and restores. It is based on an understanding that crime is a violation of people and relationships and that justice is served when those most directly involved in an offence are given opportunities to redress the harm caused.” (CCJC website)

What does it mean to be moral in an age of human bioenhancement? Can morality be bioenhanced? Why should Christians and church leaders in Canada be aware and vigilant of this technology? These questions and more will be addressed in “Faster, Higher, More Moral? Human Enhancement and Christianity,” a free webinar organized by the Faith and Life Sciences Reference Group of The Canadian Council of Churches! 
Join us on October 14, 2020 from 4-5:30PM EDT for an engaging time of learning led by a panel of specialists in the areas of bioethics and theology. This is the FLSRG’s first webinar and is specifically intended for church leaders and members!

At their best, university chapels are experimental spaces, places where people sift through narrative and poetry, music and ritual, history and practice to create from new combinations of old things something that is alive in the present. They offer a place to put the specialized knowledge of the university into conversation with larger human concerns; to consider the wisdom of religious thought and practice as part of our human inheritance; and to ask what we might learn through prayer, faith, and service.
