Do, Don't, or Leave Well Alone: How the law delivers our
ethical decisions
Part of the Festival of Spirituality and Peace
Friday 27 August 2010
11.30am - 12.30pm at St John's (venue 127)
The Scottish Churches Parliamentary Office is working with the
Festival of Spirituality and Peace to present a cross-party panel
of Parliamentarians discussing the role of legislation in
restricting or permitting our behaviour towards each other. With
the Scottish Parliament and Westminster passing dozens of pieces of
legislation each year more and more of our daily activities have
become subject to law. In this context it is increasingly important
to reflect on the implications of living the Golden Rule (treat
others as you would like to be treated) within an externally
imposed framework.
The event will be Chaired by Father Robert J Warren with
panel members Brian Adam MSP, Chief Whip; Malcolm Chisholm
MSP; and Hugh O'Donnell MSP, Scottish Liberal Democrat
Spokesperson on Education & Equal Opportunities.
This event is free and booking is not required.
