  LDCF at Party Conference

   » ‎ Liberal Democrat Christian Forum

  The Liberal Democrat Federal Conference between 18th and 23rd September is being held in Liverpool this year, the first conference with the party represented in government for decades. And the party conference sees a full schedule of events being hosted by the Liberal Democrat Christian Forum at which all are welcome to attend and get involved with. All the events are outside the secure zone so people without passes are welcome - if you have friends in and around Liverpool, invite them!

  LDCF is also running a stall in the exhibition zone and would appreciate it if everyone could make it along for a chat and catch-up!

  The LDCF schedule for conference is as follows:
   
  Sunday 19 September 2010 
  9:30am    Conference Church Service at Liverpool Parish Church, Old Churchyard, Chapel Street, Liverpool L2 8TZ
  1:00pm    AGM - Room 8, Hilton Hotel, 3 Thomas Steers Way, Liverpool L1 8LW   
  6:15pm   'Christianity and the Liberal Democrat Party' Fringe event - Room 8, Hilton Hotel, 3 Thomas Steers Way, Liverpool L1 8LW (refreshments provided)

  Political parties are tribal. Commanding loyalty, they can be places that often both express and suppress religion. The Partisan Project by Bible Society in partnership with Kirby Laing Institute for Christian Ethics explores the historical, theological and contemporary connections, tensions and challenges of this relationship. Join the author of 'Christianity and the Liberal-Democrat Party' Stephen Backhouse, Tim Farron MP, and Zoe Dixon of the Liberal Democrat Christian Forum to discuss what it means to be a Liberal Democrat Party member with faith - past, present and future.

  Monday
  8:15am  'Facing the Future in Faith': morning devotions led by Sal Brinton - Room 7, Jury's Inn Hotel, 31 Keel Wharf, Liverpool, L3 4FN (breakfast provided)

  7:45pm  Meal at The Olive Press, 25-27 Castle Street, Liverpool L2 4TA. If you want to join us then you''ll need to drop in to the LDCF stand in the Conference Exhibition by Sunday 19 September as the restaurant needs to know our menu choices in advance. By the way, the Pasta & Risotto and the Stone Baked Pizza sections are all 50% off! 

  Tuesday
  8:00am   Free Church Delegation Breakfast - Quaker Meeting House, 22 School Lane, L1 3BT (note: not 8:30am as stated in conference pack)

  About LDCF

   » ‎ Liberal Democrat Christian Forum

  The Liberal Democrat Christian Forum is a support organisation for Christians in the Liberal Democrats. Our aim is to encourage and enable Christians in their constructive work in politics. We are a voice of Christian faith in the Liberal Democrats, and a voice of Liberal Democracy among Christians.

  We work to encourage a positive Christian input in the party's activities at national, regional and local levels. We also seek to support each other through prayer and fellowship. We welcome Christians from all backgrounds who are members or supporters of the Liberal Democrats and its associated Parties.

  Challenging Christians

  We challenge the Christian world to become more politically active, by promoting the Liberal Democrats at various Christian conferences. We encourage Christians to think through their politics.

  We also inform the Christian press about Liberal Democrat Christian initiatives with letters and press releases.

  We have good links with Christians in the other major political parties and are pleased to work on joint projects where our goals overlap.

  Challenging the Party

  Liberal Democrat Christian Forum has a strong track record of pushing forward radical policy through its fringe meetings at Federal Party Conferences, its involvement in policy working groups, and the indvidiual work of its members.

  Recent fringe meetings have tackled issues such as: opposing the modern slave trade, the role of creativity in education, homelessness, and holding government to account.

  Keeping you in touch

  The Christian forum produces a quarterly newsletter, Christian Focus, which includes thought-provoking articles, debate, news of events of interest to Christians in the Party, letters from our readers and Conference reports. Christian Focus is read by MPs, MEPs, and articles are frequently adopted by the Christian press.

  Worship

  We organise the Conference Service at the autumn Federal Conference and daily meetings for prayer and fellowship during both spring and autumn Conferences.

  Membership

  We rely on our members for all our costs. Your subscription covers the LDCF Magazine and the cost of our activities.
