Event Description

Some people say that faith, belief and religion are fundamental for the creation of a healthy society. This debate will focus on determining whether religion is a force for good in the world.

We are looking for two teams to support both views.

Richard Roman will lead the affirmative.
Mahatma Jack will lead the argument against.

May the force be with the winner!

Due to the reverence we must pay to the solar eclipse, we have rescheduled this event for two weeks later.

We hope to see you then.

God bless, or not.
