KBT Fringe: Faith, Religion and Ethics in Modern Scotland
Kirkcudbright’s first fringe festival features a discussion on Faith, Religion and Ethics in Modern Scotland at Feast cafe from 5-6.30 pm on Saturday 2nd September.
What is the role of faith and religion in our modern age? Is it possible to have a committed faith and be a leader in public life or politician? And how do we ground values of humanity, compassion and interdependence in an age of intolerance? Can faith provide us with a way of understanding and connecting each other?
Discussing all this and more will be:
- Alison Phipps of Glasgow University – professor of languages and intercultural studies and holder of the UNESCO chair in refugee integration through languages and the arts. She is a member of the Iona Community.
- Martin Johnstone, Church of Scotland minister, board member of Christian Aid, former secretary of the Kirk’s church and society council and co-director of the Poverty Truth Network.
There’s more information on the KBT Fringe website and you can buy tickets – £5 each – online at Eventbrite or in person at Rhubarb in St Mary Street.
Kirkcudbright Fringe is a new arts and culture festival taking place on 1-3 September 2023, bringing together live music, film, comedy, visual arts, performance, and talks and discussion across the town.
