About this event
James White of Alpha and Omega Ministries and Keith Giles, best-selling author and writer at Patheos, will examine what Christians should believe about marriage. Is marriage really only between one man and one woman or should marriage be open to LGBT persons as well? Will traditional Christians face increasing scrutiny from legal authorities if they refuse same-sex weddings? Is Western Civilization as we have known it on the brink of collapse or are its best days ahead thanks to a more inclusive view of the world? This will be a formal, moderated debate where each side will receive equal time to speak and there will be significant cross examination.
