Systematically Episode 14 - The One about Childhood Decision-making
Today’s episode is a one-on-one conversation between Jon and Robyn, developing our conversation from Episode 04 (“The One Introducing Theology of Children”) by exploring the specifics of childhood decision-making. Does it happen? Is it important? How can adults more effectively foster integral meaning-making and existential authenticity in childhood development? Before this discussion, however, we address the differences between Canadian Thanksgiving and American Thanksgiving, debate the problematics of putting up Christmas decorations during Advent, and analyze the inclusion of Advent wreaths in liturgy. Robyn then gives an overview of contemporary bioethical debates regarding childhood decisions, especially as her own work contests a number of the field’s unexamined assumptions. Robyn wraps up the discussion by sharing her rather morbid Treasure New, and soliciting your feedback about corresponding Treasures Old, then we say goodbye.
To listen to Robyn present "Children and Meaningful Choice: Medical Decision-Making and Lonergan on Meaning" at Lonergan on the Edge 2018, visit https://www.lonerganresource.com/conference.php?49
