HOPE
In many religious traditions, hope is associated with
an ultimate fulfilment, of eternal life continuing after this physical life
ends.
In the Greek myth of Pandora, dating back to around 700 BC, the gods
punish humanity by giving Pandora a vase, which she's told not to open. Of
course, she opens it, and releases into the world a bunch of miseries and
torments, taking life into an uncertain future.
One gift though remained
within, elpis sometimes translated as hope, but in the Greek more
usually as expectation - which could be positive (hope) or negative (despair).

Dying, death, and life after death
The
Covid-19 pandemic has affected everyone, with large numbers dying, and families
experiencing bereavement. Whilst we may be aware of some of the practices of
different religious groups, how much do we know about the beliefs behind the various
rituals and practices associated with death? Increasing our understanding of
beliefs and practices of our various traditions is important in the building of
stable communities, so this event will be of interest to a wide audience. It
will also be recorded, so that it can be widely used as a learning resource.
A Webinar took place on 8th July 2020 via Zoom and a recording of the Webinar was made:
