Fallen, cancelled, mercy?

  • Date: 25 March
  • Time: 20:00 - 21:30
  • Location: Amare

Please note: this is a Dutch-speaking event!

Sooner or later, everyone gets stuck. Often in small ways, but sometimes also on a larger scale. In the eyes of the world. We fall from grace. Can we (re)connect with each other and reach out? Can we continue to see the human side of others?

Program

February 25: Media Ombudsman Margo Smit

Music by singer-songwriter Steven Paas

March 25: Hosted by the APCH with a special guest: A judge from the International Criminal Court

Music by singer Talya Bultema

April 22: Bram Bakker, former psychiatrist, author, and columnist.

Music by pianist Pascal van den Dool

The media is an environment where people stumble in the eyes of the world. But is it also a merciless environment? Does the media contribute to a culture of cancellation? Led by Jonathan van der Geer, we delve deeply into these questions. There will be music by pianist Pascal van den Dool. We hope to welcome you!

In a three-evening series, the LUX Academy reflects on the theme "Fallen, Canceled, Grace?" We'll engage in conversation with commentators from a wide range of worlds, including media, science, church, and politics. Beyond observing others, we'll also look at ourselves. How do we relate to our fellow human beings who have become stuck? And where did we get stuck ourselves? What did we do then? Why do we need grace in looking at others and ourselves? We'll focus on the fall, the subsequent shadow period, and the recovery.
