Please keep your comments respectful and positive. Feel free to express your opinion but understand that this Symposium is meant to train and teach young men how to live their lives for Christ in this world that is definitely not Christ centered and still be a good example for their children, spouses, family and friends. It is with that in mind that we ask that you post your comment!
