Our society has an addiction problem. Deaths related to addictive drugs like fentanyl have increased almost unbelievably in recent years. Research shows that other addictions — to substances like alcohol or to behaviours like gambling or consuming pornography — are all-too-common and have devastating consequences. But what is addiction? What does the Gospel say about it? Is there hope?
Taught by Quentin Genuis MD MLitt, this two-talk series seeks to engage these foundational questions in a way that is grounded in our Christian hope and also attentive to the roots of the many addictions-related-challenges that face us in our time. The first week will focus on characterizing what addiction is, and the second will turn directly to how the Church can be a place of welcome, grace, and meaningful hope for those who struggle under the weight of addiction.
Quentin Genuis is a Medical Doctor at St Paul’s and the Physician Ethicist for Providence Health Care.
