With the youth of today being immersed in meme culture, the debate concerning the place of irony and humour within religious life needs to be revisited. Is there such a place? Are Christian youth able to remain faithful to Christ while participating in meme culture (a culture which, broadly speaking, rejects the category of the sacred)? This lecture answers such questions affirmatively, proposing a discipleship strategy for Christian youth ministry based on Søren Kierkegaard's theological dialectic of jest and earnestness. 

This event is part of the Ridley College Lecture Series

The lecture will be livestreamed as well as hosted in person at Ridley College in Melbourne.
