Nine talks exploring faith and questions facing society.
Listen to the talks ↓In this time of ecological crisis, I believe Christians need to be able to tell the story of what they believe about creation. If Christians cannot express what they believe on this subject, Christianity becomes irrelevant to addressing the ecological crisis. This story must therefore be taught systematically to the faithful, at least in homilies, which does not seem to be happening at present.
A slow and inevitable disappearance, or an opportunity to discern new ways of being and serving the human community?
Few young people are drawn to this kind of commitment or to rules of life inherited from the past. Are traditional religious congregations destined to disappear?
Young people no longer attend church. Does this mean the end of a certain kind of Christianity? What will they make of traditional Christian “values”?
Since the future belongs to young people, it is important to ask how millennials view God, spirituality, religion, faith, divine revelation, the Bible, prayer, liturgy, sexual ethics, cannabis, and more.
Featuring François Canuel, Jean-Sébastien Marsolais et Arthur Paquet.

From the beginnings of Christianity, believers gathered together the fundamental affirmations made by Jesus, witness to the truth. The result was the CREED: a clear and simple proclamation of God’s action in our world, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Is forgiveness possible?
In the face of reported violence and physical, psychological, and sexual assault and abuse, do intolerance, indifference, revenge, and forgiveness have a future?
What do the Scriptures say?
Human beings have migrated since time immemorial; all our ancestors were migrants. How can we explain today’s waves of migration? Thousands of political refugees fleeing war and ethnic cleansing from the Middle East, Africa, Myanmar, Venezuela, and Haiti find themselves alongside economic refugees and people seeking better living conditions.
Can we address the real causes of these migrations, or must we simply soften their consequences?
How should we regard refugees if we are to remain faithful to Jesus’ teaching?
Should we distinguish between political and economic refugees?
