Debate: Final Show Debate of the Year

To close out an excellent year of show debates we are hosting one final one with Catholic Campus Outreach this Thursday night at 7pm in Tory 342. The Carleton University Debate Society (CUDS) and Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO) are partnering to bring you a debate and discussion about whether religion should keep up with the times. The event will start with a debate featuring two national champions. The debate will be focussed around the question "Should religion change to keep up with the times". The evening will continue with a talk by pre-eminent religious scholar Father Bob Bedard. Father Bedard has been a priest for more than 50 years, and his charm and wit continue to delight audiences both inside and outside the church. In 1985 he founded an order of priests called 'Companions of the Cross' which currently has 36 members. The Companions of the Cross emphasize ongoing renewal of the Catholic Church through dynamic evangelization. Father Bedard will speak about the ways he believes the Catholic Church can change and the ways in which it cannot. The evening will end with ample time for questions and comments about the issues discussed. We hope to see everyone out and please join the Facebook event and invite your friends!
