Here’s an event sure to interest our readers in the sunny world of Atlanta, Georgia:
Michael Scaperlanda and William Chip, two First Things contributors, will be holding a debate on illegal immigration—”A Response To Those In Our Midst”—on Tuesday, February 3, at 7 p.m. The event will be held at Emory University, sponsored by Aquinas Center of Theology. See here for more details.
This isn’t the first time Chip and Scaperlanda have come in dialogue. Last May, FT published their exchange on the ” Ethics of Immigration ,” which was so lively and pointed that it resulted in further debate in the next issue. With next week’s meeting, this vital discussion continues.
