The afternoon session commenced with a debate (Pattimandram). The Bishop Amma moderated and set the motion of the debate the topic " From the background of scriptures to the present church, where do Women find encouragement? is it from the men or women? " the debate was worth enjoying for the audience, every debater was cheered and applauded for giving a tough fight, mixed with humor, pleasing presentation and sharp arguments.
Prof .Mrs. Esther Prasanakumar concluded the debate giving a fair judgment, exposing that Men and women are important in Gods Ministry. God created both men and women in his image and we are called to be cheerful instruments in bringing glory to God's name, quoting Gal 3: 28 "there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ. " it is our primal responsibility to encourage each other and become one in Christ.
Trophies were presented to the best speakers of the debate and the participants.
