LDCF have just returned from New Wine in Peterborough.... 

Anyone going to New Wine Week 2 in Peterborough? LDCF are partnering with Christians in Politics, Christians on the Left and Conservative Christian Fellowship to run two seminars, one on Brexit, the other on Supernatural Politics. Venue: HUB 5 Monday 5th & Tuesday 6th August 4-5pm. Would be great to see you there!

LDCF Director Karen Klair had the privilege last week of attending the 2019 National Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast in Westminster Hall. A very early start did not deter 650 church leaders, Parliamentarians, Christian organisations and Diplomats gathering to worship together & be challenged by the Bishop of London, Sarah Mullally on the need to come together and reject the politics of polarisation. Here is a LINK to her talk. Afterwards there were a series of seminars run by Christian organisations. Christian Aid ran a seminar called "Speaking Truth to Power" with Joel Edwards & David Lammy MP on the panel.

If you find yourself in London tomorrow (12th June) how about coming along to hear Canon Rev. Mark Oakley speak on Poets, Prophets and Protestors: Liberty, Christianity and the Future". Our annual Gladstone Lecture is being held in the National Liberal Club, a museum to the cause of Liberalism as laid out by Gladstone himself. An amazing venue! Hosted by Lord Andrew Stunell & Baroness Sal Brinton. Tickets on sale on the door for £12 or via the website ahead of the Lecture for £10. This price includes a glass of wine, access to the NLC and the Lecture. Drinks reception starts at 6:30pm, Lecture at 7:15.
