Living with Purpose: Perspective on Life & Death | 14th Annual World Religions Conference
2025-06-17 19:00 - 21:00 | Cochrane Ranchehouse, 101 Ranchehouse Road, Cochrane, Alberta
*NOTE DATE WAS CHANGED TO JUNE 17/25
In every era and culture, humankind has sought answers to profound questions about existence: Why are we here? What is the purpose of life? What happens after death? These universal inquiries touch the core of human experience and find expression across faith traditions, philosophies, and scientific exploration.
At the 14th Annual World Religions Conference, Cochrane, we would like to explore these themes through diverse perspectives. From religious doctrines to secular philosophies, we aim to foster a nuanced understanding of how our worldview shapes our approach to living a purposeful life and facing the inevitability of death.
The topic, “Living with Purpose: Perspectives on Life & Death,” invites us to reflect on two fundamental aspects of existence:
Is there a grand design behind human existence, or are we the result of chance? What role do faith, morality, and community play in shaping our purpose?
How do different traditions view death—as an end, a transition, or a gateway to a higher reality? How do these perspectives influence the way we live?
