Seculosity of Death with Rev. Connor Gwin
Wednesday, November 4th - Seculosity of Death Speaker: The Reverend Connor Gwin, associate rector for family ministry at Christ Episcopal Church, Charlotte

The weekend of Halloween, All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day make us face the obvious: We are all going to die. This is a universal fact of life, but what happens when the religious understanding of death and dying disappears? Join the Rev. Connor Gwin for a discussion of the secular religions concerning death that are gaining momentum in our modern age. From Heaven is for Real to “death hacking”, we will see what our culture thinks about death and what Good News actually sounds like when talking about the ultimate question.
