Apologetics seminar in Saskatoon

Being equipped in apologetics of Christianity is something many people find encourages their faith. In November 2025, Dr. Adam Francisco, former Concordia professor and now Director of Academics and Scholar in Residence at the organization 1517, visited Saskatoon to present on the topic, and the attendee quoted below indicates that the event was much appreciated.

SASKATOON, Sask. – On November 15, 2025, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church hosted a seminar on the topic of Christian apologetics. Dr. Adam Francisco was the guest speaker on this important subject, and over four sessions he provided an introduction to apologetics, presenting on how philosophy, science, and history connect with defending the Christian faith.

In addition to the seminar sessions, those attending enjoyed refreshment breaks and lunch, which provided time for fellowship among the attendees, who came from Saskatoon and other parts of Saskatchewan, as well as from Manitoba and Alberta.

One of the younger attendees shared that “as a younger Christian it can sometimes be difficult to explain or defend certain parts of our faith to others who challenge the Christian faith or want to know why Christians believe what the Bible says is true. Dr. Francisco presented wonderful points on how a person can go about doing this that I found very helpful.”
