Resonans-gespreksreeks: Die groot stilte

Met Chris van den Berg, Elmarie van Huyssteen, Barnard Steyn, Johan van der Merwe (gespreskleier)

Die Wêreldgesondheidsorganisasie noem eensaamheid 'n pandemie. “Die Groot Stilte”, word dit soms genoem. En hierdie pandemie moet beveg word. In talle lande is dit tot prioriteit verklaar – en dis hoog tyd. Mense is elektronies meer verbind as ooit tevore, en meer as ooit alleen. Jeugwerkloosheid, vervreemding deur sosiale media en die ineenstorting van gemeenskappe is aan die orde van die dag. In 'n wêreld waar alles vinniger en meer digitaal word, vra al hoe meer mense: Waarvoor leef ek eintlik? Het die Kerk 'n antwoord – of is die Kerk self deel van die stilte? Is ons gedoem tot isolasie?

It’s sometimes called “The Great Silence”: loneliness, and the longing for togetherness and meaning. The World Health Organization has named loneliness a pandemic. Many countries have made combating loneliness a top priority. Youth unemployment, alienation through social media, and the collapse of communities are daily realities. In a world that grows faster and more digital by the day, more and more people ask: What am I really living for? Does the church have an answer - or has it too become part of the silence? Are we doomed to isolation? Or can we rediscover connection, purpose, and hope together? Join us for this important conversation — a chance to explore how faith and community might break the Great Silence.
