Faith + the Maker: “On Darkness & Evil”
Thursday, March 27
7:00-9:00 PM
Join us at Old School Makerspace for our spring Faith + the Maker! Special guest Guy Delcambre from Art House Dallas will guide us through the Origin Series to explore and discuss the prevalence of darkness and evil—questions that affect every artist and maker.
These questions are not new ones; they have plagued the human heart and mind as long as time itself. In this series, we will explore the problem of evil through the lens of the church father, St. Augustine of Hippo. In his thinking, evil was not substantial but a defect in being, or rather, a deficiency of good. For St. Augustine, God–who is a supreme power and is supremely good–could not allow anything evil to exist amongst his creation if he were not able to bring good even out of evil. So then, the question of evil and suffering calls us to contemplate the omnipotent and only-good God and what this means in our lives and experienced circumstances.
We will share appetizers, drinks, and dessert as we explore these important topics together. Please register here. We hope you will join us.
