Has religion come out of the closet in public affairs in Canada? In the Inaugural Somerville Lecture in Christianity and Communications, celebrated Toronto Star political columnist and author Richard Gwyn comments on the re-emergence of religion in Canadian public life. The phenomenon is bigger than Stockwell Day, he argues, and it poses new challenges for Canadians. As part of this series sponsored by The Catholic Register, Mr. Gwyn will also deliver the same lecture at 7:30 pm on October 16th at the Newman Centre Chapel, 89 St. George Street, Toronto.
