Was Christ’s Sacrifice enough to save us? Are we saved by grace alone, or do we need to do more? An excellent talk by Christian Stephens.

In this talk, Patrick Langrell, the Chaplaincy Convenor at The University of Notre Dame Australia, gives a philosophical account of love. He discusses what marital love looks like, and the implications it has for the debate surrounding same-sex "marriage". A highly recommended talk to understand the importance of defending marriage!
