Alternative Realities?
Some of the UKs leading figures explore perspectives on the meaning of life
Atheism? Ghosts? UFOs? HCC gets to grips with these popular subjects over a series of interviews and Q&A sessions with leading UK figures - each an independent expert in their field.
Alternative Realities? is hosted by Dr Brendan Devitt, Director of Training and Theology at HCC. Each evening will feature an interview with an esteemed specialist guest, refreshments, and an opportunity to submit questions.
The evenings will be relaxed and fun - and you can get ahead on some of the ideas that might come up by heading HERE for Brendan's quick guide to the vocabulary of the "God Debate".
