This evening and last night we had an excellent opportunity opened up for us. By invitation we were asked to participate two different nights in a special conference on the origin of man. We were the only religious group to take part twice, sharing the first night with a Baptist minister and the second with a Brazilian Catholic padre. The third night, tomorrow, has a spiritualist scheduled.
Three questions were posed: What is the origin of man? Was Christ a product of evolution? Why are there so many different churches if there is only one God? We could not have thought up better questions ourselves.
Elder Knecht answered the first and second questions last night. To help answer we showed Man’s Search for Happiness. Then Elder Hendrickson answered the third. We were not allowed our full 50 minutes because of starting late. With today spent in revisions and making two posters, we were even better prepared tonight. I took the first two questions, Elder Smith the third. We showed the film again.
Aldo and Virginia attended both nights. Tonight Edmilson, Sônia, Simone, and Paulo also were there. About 300 to 350 people filled the auditorium each night. We met in the Colégio Estadual de Alagoas, near the Praça Deodouro.
