All welcome to come along to this breakfast talk with Q&A.

Let's dream together about creating a perfect society, where all social, political, and economic problems are resolved.
The ABS census questions are reviewed to help make better plans to have people live together well. Perhaps they, and we, think more data will assist the population to fulfil their happiness, intellectual and physical aspirations and reduce suffering.
Where have humans found meaning and stability throughout history? Is there any sense to pursuing happiness?
How do we make sense of life and find a meaning that is robust enough to handle the suffering we experience in this life and a vision of the good that doesn’t turn us into a new kind of oppressor?

Speaker: Jordan Thyer
Jordan’s talks have engaged people across Australia and many places overseas, with people of all faiths and no faith.
He has worked as a chemical engineer here in Perth, studied apologetics with mathematician John Lennox in Oxford and theology here in Perth. So he's well prepared and enjoys audience question times.
He is currently pastor with Providence Church in Midland.
Jordan grew up in the Perth hills, enjoys the outdoors for a swim or run; he achieved a dream by completing the Rottnest channel swim this summer.
