THE PROBLEM OF EVIL - FURTHER DISCUSSION

Thursday 23rd October from 7.30pm - 9.30pm at The Conference Room, Billingham Forum, Queensway, Billingham, Cleveland TS23 2LJ. (For directions click here)

The problem of evil, or suffering, is, for many people, the biggest obstacle to Christian faith. In a nutshell, it goes like this: if God was all-powerful and all-loving, he would prevent evil. If he cannot, he is not all-powerful. If he can but does not, he is not all-loving. As Christianity maintains that God is all-powerful and all-loving, Christianity cannot be true.

This evening is an opportunity for informal discussion of the many challenging questions that arise as we try to make sense of suffering and evil in the world. While reference will be made to the previous event led by Jeff Astley it is not necessary to have attended the previous event.
