In our search for meaning, "Who am I?" is one of the most fundamental questions we ask. Today, our identities are formed by a cluster of (sometimes contradictory!) traits — religion, race, gender and nationality, among others. James Carleton and the God Forbid panel discuss how those identities can change the course of our lives, whether we want them to or not.

As confidence in our Westminster system of parliamentary democracy erodes, we seem to long for a leader — any leader — to save us. But no one person can be and do everything, and our politics was never designed to provide that kind of all-encompassing moral leadership. Will there ever be a saviour in the Lodge, or do we need to look elsewhere? James Carleton and the God Forbid panel examine how three different faiths view leadership.

The 60s and 70s were a time of countercultural liberation, and the Christian church was not immune — especially in South America.
