'Mixed Messages: Ethics and the Media'

Thursday, 26th April 2012 | 19:00 pm

Questions of Right and Wrong - The Role of Faith in Contemporary Society

Whether it’s the banking crisis or the behaviour of the media, issues in medical ethics, foreign policy or sexual morality – questions of right and wrong are never far from the headlines.

But it’s not only the big issues in public life that are currently under the spotlight. Personal ethical choices have become a minefield as age-old certainties are threatened by moral relativism, and traditional understandings of social responsibility give way to rampant individualism.

The 2012 St Wilfrid Lecture bring together an exciting range of well known speakers to help us explore the vital questions of right and wrong that affect us all.

On 26 April the guest speaker will be Nick Baines, Bishop of Bradford and he will discuss ‘Mixed Messages: Ethics and the Media’
