The Lawyers' Christian Fellowship
The Lawyers’ Christian Fellowship is a Christian organisation in the United Kingdom which professes a membership of more than 2,000 Christian lawyers. The organisation has a wide-ranging vision, including evangelism, discipleship, prayer, integrity and cultural engagement. They also seek to influence social change by actively lobbying the British Government on issues that are central to its Biblically informed value system: these issues include abortion, gay rights, sex before marriage, and the enforcing of laws relating to blasphemy. In 2008 they attempted to influence the outcome of voting on the passing of the Human Fertilisation and Embryo Bill.

“[Rutherford B. Hayes] was a patriotic citizen, a lover of the flag and of our free institutions, an industrious and conscientious civil officer, a soldier of dauntless courage, a loyal comrade and friend, a sympathetic and helpful neighbor, and the honored head of a happy Christian home. He has steadily grown in the public esteem, and the impartial historian will not fail to recognize the conscientiousness, the manliness, and the courage that so strongly characterized his whole public career.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“Have no fellowship with one that is mightier and richer than thyself: for how agree the kettle and the earthen pot together? For if the one be smitten against the other, it shall be broken.”
