Meet Hugh Mackay
Most Australians (61%, according to the last Census) think of themselves as Christian, and around 67% say they believe in God or some ‘higher power’. But only 8% attend church weekly. Why the gap? In his latest book Beyond Belief, Hugh Mackay presents this as one of the great unexamined topics of our time. He has interviewed dozens of Australians representing all points on the spectrum of faith, including some who are part of the emerging ‘spiritual but not religious’ movement.
From one of Australia’s most widely-respected authors, Hugh Mackay’s Beyond Belief is a superbly written look at one of the most important but least examined ways we negotiate our world and manage our lives. Join Hugh for this fascinating talk.
Bookings essential.
