I announced that I’d be visiting Regina, Saskatoon, Kelowna, and Calgary. Now I have the details.

I’ll first be attending a fundraising dinner in Regina, SK, the evening of Tuesday, October 14 (details and how to get tickets here). Then at 6pm Wednesday, October 15, I’ll be having a fun and fascinating on-stage discussion with Dr. William Arnal, Department Head of Religious Studies at the University of Regina. We’ll be covering the historicity of Jesus, the resurrection of Jesus, and the meaning and nature of myth in antiquity (details here).

My second talk will be “How Do History and Science Prove or Disprove a Religion?” (on how to use history and science to disprove any religion) at 7:30pm, Thursday, October 16 at the J.S. Wood Library (1801 Lansdowne Ave) in Saskatoon, SK (the venue is on the lower level and unfortunately, I hear, is only accessible by stairs). There will be an informal pub meet afterward.

Then I’ll be in Kelowna, BC discussing the historicity of Jesus at 7:30pm Friday, October 17 (details here, tickets here; this will be at the French Cultural Centre, which I assume is the one at 702 Bernard Ave, Kelowna, BC V1Y). And the next day I’ll be doing an extended morning Q&A and a fundraiser lunch (that’s Saturday, October 18). The Q&A will be at UBC Okanagan at 333 University Way, in room Room 2181 of the Engineering, Management & Education building (free and open to the public, full details here…check out the list of suggested topics to ask me about!). The lunch is open to donors, who will be advised of the details. If you want to become one of those (or want to know what it takes to become one of those), contact CFI Okanagan. They do good work, so they could definitely use anyone willing and able to support them.

Last but not least I’ll be doing two events in Calgary, AB. First a fundraiser brunch on Sunday, October 19 (details and tickets here), then at 2:30pm (same day) I’ll be speaking again on “How Do History and Science Prove or Disprove a Religion?” at the Ten X Nightclub (details and tickets here).

CFI Canada has undertaken a lot of effort and expense bringing me up and around Western Canada for this, so do please attend any of these events you can, and support them with donations wherever possible. It’s a really great educational effort they are undertaking here, bringing information to the public that often just isn’t brought there, and I’d like to see them encouraged to do more like this. Some venues will be selling my book On the Historicity of Jesus and some will not. If you happen to notice they are, it would be great if you bought them, because they acquired that stock at their own expense, and the proceeds will also help offset their costs for the events.

Hope to see you there!
