The opinions and views expressed in public lectures to the Society are not necessarily the views of the Society committee, nor do they necessarily wholly reflect the Society's stance. They are simply deemed to be worthy of presentation for members and others to consider, evaluate, respond to, etc. A careful effort is made to ensure that all lecturers do not promote or defend any doctrinal view contrary to our statement of Christian faith. In such cases where views are expressed that are contrary to our beliefs, this is allowed for so that a critique of erroneous doctrines can be presented.
