ORATORIAN COMMUNITY IN FORMATION: NEWMAN ASSOCIATION, MAY AND JUNE 2017

Both topics for the May and June evenings of the Newman association were unusual and interesting. In May, Dr Jasieu Lewtak, a Polish scientist living and working in Bloemfontein, spoke on "Men and Christianity." In June, Dr Don Paine, head of Biology at Eunice Girls' School, gave a lecture on "Youth at the Crossroads" in which he addressed the problems faced by parents and children in dealing with a difficult and complex modern world. Dr Paine addressed, in particular, the issues of Christianity in a secular state school, and the attraction of various religious groups for the pupils.

Dinner is always a sociable and lively part of the evening - in true Philippine style.
