December 2014 Intensive Courses
Biomedical Ethics and the Contemporary Church (Intensive Course)
1 – 5 Dec 2014, Mon to Fri, 9.00am – 5.00pm
We are living in a time of a tsunami of change. Christians are often swamped by newer and latest technologies without having a chance to examine the ethical considerations. This course will help to surf this tsunami by evaluating from a pastoral-theological perspective, issues that will involve everyone at some time in their lives.
Dr. Alex Tang, teacher for the course, is associate professor of paediatrics in Monash University and consultant paediatrician at KPJ Johor Specialist Hospital. He is an ordained Presbyterian elder and lectures at several seminaries.
Registration deadline: Mon, 10 Nov 2014.
