Episode notes
God And Beer - Edition 5- Dr Adam Cooper (Lecturer, Author, Theologian, Catholic Theological College Melbourne)
A new event from the Dandenong North Branch of the Knights of the Southern Cross Victoria to bring together Catholic men and women of all ages from across the south-east suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, several times a year. The aim is to inspire and strengthen Catholics by providing ideas and inspiration for renewal by drawing on the truth, beauty and goodness of the Catholic faith.
The fourth face-to-face event (held at the Notting Hill Hotel on Monday July 11, 2022) featured Dr Adam Cooper. Dr Cooper spoke on the topic 'Failing Up - How Failure Can Bring You Closer to God'.
We all want to succeed and so we spend our lives trying to avoid failure but what if we could actually use it to bring ourselves closer to God? This is the idea that Dr Cooper will address at the this installment of 'God and Beer'.
A theologian, lecturer and sometime mountain climber and weight lifter, Dr Cooper formerly worked at the John Paul II Institute and the University of Durham. He now teaches and writes at Melbourne's Catholic Theological College and has a special interest in patristics, the Theology of the Body and the work of Maximus the Confessor.
Future events will continue to take place in person, at the Notting Hill Hotel.
