A Faith Odyssey run by the North Sydney region of the Anglican Church. Abbotsleigh School at Wahroonga will host the lectures, to be held over the next three Wednesday evenings, commencing at 8pm each night. Dr Paul Barnett, Bishop of North Sydney, said all members of the public were welcome to attend. This week, the Rev Michael Raiter, lecturer at Moore Theological College, will speak on Spiritualities and God s Spirit . Mr Raiter says that the subject of spirituality is one of today s most relevant topics.
Religion is out, but spirituality is very much in.
There is an incredible interest in the whole area. I think it s a response to the fact that people realise that our consumer culture is ultimately barren and empty, and that we are actually spiritual beings. We need to think about how we, as Christians, should react to this. The lecture series kicked off last Tuesday night with an address from the Rev Dr John Woodhouse, rector of Christ Church, St Ives. Dr Woodhouse spoke on the topic of God, the Big Picture and me , before a crowd of over 300 people.
