Thawing the ice
Apologies for my recent absence and also for the delay in getting this week's blog post out.
If the cold doesn't scare members off, we'll hopefully be hoping to thaw the ice with a heated debate on the future of the Church of England tomorrow. The society will be considering the motion 'This House believes that the Church of England should be disestablished' at 2.45pm, H12, Heaton Manor School etc. etc.
Speaking for the proposition will be Sam Hunt, a former member of the society's competition squad who is an active campanologist at St George's CofE Church, Jesmond and will be hoping to gain extra debate experience in tomorrow's debate. Sam will be accompanied by David J Shepherd, another former competition squad member who hasn't debated for a while and will be hoping to get back in to the swing of things.
On the opposition bench is Chris Redfearn who was narrowly knocked down to fourth place following last week's debate. Chris is the leader of the school's Christian Union and who attends the evangelical Church of England establishment, Jesmond Parish Church. Accompanying Chris for their second consecutive appearance as a pair is James Bartle MYP who currently ranks at the top of the society's league and will be hoping to extend his seven point lead even further.
Tomorrow promises to be a highly intellectual and extremely interesting debate with strong teams on both sides.
