2016 Richard Johnson Lecture: The Myth of Religious Violence
21 July, 2016
Sydney, NSW
“It’s a widely held assumption in Western societies that religion has a peculiar tendency to promote violence. Indeed, much of our domestic and foreign policy assumes this. Is it a fair assumption? Are religions more inclined to promote violence than things like nationalism and access to oil? What even counts as “religion”? And what role have “secular” ideologies as well as “religious” ones played in fomenting violence? Professor Cavanaugh weighs the arguments and comes to some provocative conclusions.”

August
Pursuing Unity: What is Church Unity and Why Should We Care?
Moore College
1 August
Sydney, NSW
“Church unity sounds like a great idea: we can see how important it is for us to be united within our churches week by week. But how important is our unity with the church down the road, or across town, especially if they think differently from us on some key issues? Is a lack of unity between churches a blight on the gospel? And at what cost should we seek to fix it?
