91-Yr Old Bajan USCian To Disengage From The Public Lecture Series Which Bears His Name


On the occasion of the 11th Annual Public Lecture of the George and Esther Simmons Book Collection held on Monday, October 28, 2013, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Port of Spain, Trinidad, under the patronage of His Excellency Gerard Latulippe, High Commissioner for Canada to the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, Dr. George Simmons announced that next year's 12th lecture would be his last as he feels it is the final one he is mentally and physically able to plan.

This year's lecture was delivered by Professor John Hare, Professor of Philosophical Theology at Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA. Using the philosophical work of Immanuel Kant as his springboard, Professor Hare reasoned that Providence, Grace and Justification show that morality depends on religion.
