Sycamore Tree Cafe

185 Burgundy Street, Heidelberg

Join our panel as we discuss the joys and challenges of raising children in multi-generational families at a time of rapid change.

Grandparenting can be a wonderful time of being with family and building a relationship with grandchildren. But what happens when parents and grandparents have different ideas about how the job is to be done?

How do parents and grandparents negotiate the changed roles inherent in the new relationship. And how do they maintain healthy boundaries in keeping their own lives distinct from their role as grandparents?

Who is Jesus?

Ivanhoe Uniting Church, 15 Seddon Street

We’ll be looking at what Jesus said to his disciples before the events of Easter.

“Let me give you a new command: Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples—when they see the love you have for each other.”

I wonder … what stands out to you from these words?

We will be talking about Jesus, sharing in some messy activities and a meal.

From ‘The Matrix’ and ‘Terminator’ to ‘Battlestar Galactica’, most cinematic portrayals of artificial intelligence do not end well.

Should we be concerned about the development of AI? Should we be more concerned about the development of AI than climate change?

What are the challenges in regulating AI? Can AI be given human values?

Join David Landis-Morse and Dr. Mark Zirnsak as we look at the concerns around the development of AI.
