Faulkner University will address one of the state’s most hotly contested topics—gambling—in its annual high-profile debate. The V.P. Black College of Biblical Studies will host the formal debate on Thursday, October 24, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Tine-Davis Gymnasium. The topic will be “Resolved: Gambling is Morally Acceptable.” Faulkner Biblical Studies professor David W. Hester will argue against the resolution, while Bill J. Pascrell III, a lobbyist with the Princeton Public Affairs Group, will affirm it. The debate will be live-streamed and recorded.
The event is free and open to the public, coinciding with Faulkner’s Homecoming week. This debate will be a highlight of the 2024 Faulkner Bible Lectureship, taking place October 20-24.
