Knowles-Woodsworth Lecture (October 23, 2013)

Information posted on the Knowles-Woodsworth Centre blog by Bill Blaikie (Director).

"I am pleased to post that the annual Knowles-Woodsworth lecture this year will be given by Allan Gregg, well known Canadian political pollster, advisor, and commentator.  Mr. Gregg has had occasion to  express concern about the attitude of the current federal government toward science and evidence based policy making, and the lecture this fall will be an opportunity for him to comment further about these concerns. The lecture will take place on Thursday October 23rd, and will be entitled, as the heading of the blogpost suggests: Religion, Reason and the Public Good. Location TBA.  My thanks to Allan Gregg for accepting the invitation of theKnowles-Woodsworth Centre."

Note:  Bill Blaikie is the keynote speaker and co-planner of Augustine's first annual Faith in the City conversations, scheduled for November 1-3, 2013.  This year's theme:  "Following Jesus ... Into Politics?"  Bill is also the author of The Blaikie Report:  An Insider's Look at  Faith and Politics.
