Another evening watching a live panel debate!
Please note: this is NOT our event, but a great opportunity to show up and represent RMA.
If you miss the event at the Univesity of Calgary, there is another one coming to Mount Royal University (MRU). The Ahmadiyya Muslim Students Affiliation (AMSA) is putting on a Jubilee-style “Spectrum” debate exploring the question of God’s existence. Panellists will respond to a series of statements by holding up signs (Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Neutral, Agree, or Strongly Agree) and then explain their reasoning. It’s a direct, engaging format that makes for a genuinely interesting evening.
Perspectives on the panel include: Atheism, Islam, Christianity and Hinduism.
The moderated discussion will include a live Q&A, during which audience members can submit questions directly to the panel.
We are pleased to say that Roy Alexander, our RMA member, will be on the panel! Roy has participated in debates before, and he is very skilled. We’re looking forward to an excellent evening.
The event organizers (AMSA) have a registration form, but there is no fee. The registration form appears to mainly be for contact info and to gauge attendance. Registering may be optional. It does not appear that a ticket is required to attend. Free pizza is available to all attendees who have registered via the AMSA form (presumably, more details below).
Room Y222 is on the 2nd floor of the Y-Wing, which is adjacent to the West Gate entrance on the Mount Royal University Campus.
Parking: Lots 1 and 2 are available, but payment is required.
- Transit: There is a bus hub next to the west entrance. It should be pretty easy to find a bus to MRU.
If you do wish to register via the AMSA form, do so at your own discretion. Your name, email, and phone number will most likely be used by the organizing association for follow-up. Here is their registration form:
It was an event like this that eventually led me out of religion.
📅 Date: Thursday, April 9
🕒 Time: 6:00 pm MDT
📍 Location: Mount Royal University, 4825 Mt Royal Gate SW · Calgary, AB. When you arrive, go ahead into Room Y222 if it is open. I’ll plan to be there early (about 6:00 pm). So if you can recognize me, just come on over.
