Hamilton Events this Month!

JANUARY 14, 7:00 PM
AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH
This important and acclaimed film featuring Al Gore has become a grassroots phenomenon generating a needed discussion about climate warming. How do we respond to climate change? What is the role of government, business, and each of us as individuals? What is the role of our faith?
Discussion leader: Dr. David Chapman, Ph.D., Environmental Engineer.
SUNDAY, JANUARY 21, 7:00 PM
WHY WE FIGHT?
What are the forces that shape American militarism? This award-winning film provides an inside look at the anatomy of the American war machine. Is American foreign policy dominated by the idea of military supremacy? Has the military become too important in American life? Is Canada’s way of life and foreign policy shaped by the same forces as in the USA? Is there a faith based response to why we fight?
Discussion leader: Dr. Graeme MacQueen, Ph.D., founder of the McMaster Centre of Peace Studies War and Health program.
BOTH FILMS AT BURLINGTON BAPTIST CHURCH 2225 New Street (west of Guelph Line) Admission: $3.00 More information about both films at www.burlingtonbaptist.com
