Gleanings is a forum for nuanced discussion about complex ideas and issues relating to arts and culture, theology, and the social sciences. For more details, visit GleaningsForum.ca The first half of the evening is a dramatic play reading or other performance by professional artists. After a brief intermission, the second half of the evening is a facilitated discussion with some of the artists and special guests to get the conversation going before the audience is welcome to participate or simply observe. The discussion will have a high emphasis on listening to and learning from other points of view in order to 'glean' richer and deeper understanding about complex issues and ideas. It's a forum for intellectually curious people who enjoy meaningful nuanced discussion. "The God Committee" by Mark St. Germain ("Freud's Last Session") is the final of three Gleanings in the 2025 series "Playing God". Medicine, Money, and Morality clash when the Heart Transplant Selection Committee of St. Patrick’s Hospital has only minutes to decide which of three patients will receive a heart that has suddenly become available.
