Faith debate

Dear editor,

I want to let you know about an event happening this weekend called “In Defense of the Faith”. If you, like me, want to better understand how to stand up for your Christian faith and explain the reasons for your convictions to others, then I would encourage you to attend this two-part event.

First, this Friday night, April 18, at Fresno State in the South Gym, there will be a debate titled “The God Question” between Christian apologetic and best selling author, Dinesh D’Souza and Michael Shermer, founding publisher of Skeptic magazine. I went online and read information about both these men and I can tell you it will be a challenging and lively debate.

One thing that is interesting is that Mr. D’Souza comes at his position of defending the Christian faith focusing on reason and evidence apart from the Bible as his source. I want to learn how he does that because a lot of unbelievers can just reject the Bible as a source for proof, and then reject the Christian message altogether.

The second part of the weekend is happening Saturday morning at New Covenant Church. Again Mr. D’Souza will speak, along with several different people leading seminars on how to defend their faith. The Friday night debate is free. It starts at 7pm., but is expected to fill up so get there early.

For information about the Saturday morning at New Covenant, you can go to newcov.com and pre-register. This is a great opportunity for us and I hope to see many of my FC classmates there.
