Event Details
At a time when 61 percent of Australians still identify as Christian but only 8 percent attend church weekly, Hugh tackles one of the big questions about contemporary Australia: “how do we find our sense of meaning & purpose when religious faith & practice are in such sharp decline? (and why are enrolments at church schools skyrocketing?)”
Hugh Mackay is a social researcher and one of Australia’s most respected authors. In his new book, Beyond Belief, Hugh draws on research suggesting that our quest for a meaningful life depends on believing in something ‘greater than ourselves’ and explores what that ‘something’ might be for today’s Australians.
You can purchase his book in-store before the event or on the day for signing.
Hugh is a thought provoking speaker and spoke to a capacity audience last year when he spoke about the art of belonging. So book early to ensure your spot.
