Join Albany’s two cathedrals to hear author and religious scholar Dr. Carol Zaleski for her two talks.

Eternal Life? 

Part One:   Skepticism, Curiosity, and the Real Grounds for Christian Hope
Part Two:   Landscapes of the Afterlife: Thoughts on Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory

Dr. Zaleski’s talk that had been scheduled for March was canceled due to the pandemic, but the topic is more relevant than ever. A donation of $5 — $20 is requested, but not required. Please fill out the form below and we will send you the links to watch/listen to the talk.

This event is made possible by the partnership of The Cathedral of All Saints with the Roman Catholic Cathedral of The Immaculate Conception at 185 Eagle St. in Albany.
