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.
