Debating Delusions – Proclaiming Christ in the Public Square

As I have gradually got back into public speaking its been a privilege to speak at the Universities of Aberdeen, Abertay, Dundee….The CU’s generally do a remarkable work.  I think what I personally enjoy more than anything are the discussions and debates with non-believers.  They don’t always have to be hostile.  As the following example shows – this was held in the Glasgow Uni Student … Continue reading Debating Delusions – Proclaiming Christ in the Public Square

Welcome to LED no. 24….as always we try to bring you a mixture of articles and comments, which illustrate and illuminate the world we live in.
