World Congress of Families-Wednesday May 23rd 2012:

Dear Friends
 
As you are no doubt  aware, the World Congress of Families, led by Andrea Minichiello Williams, is  hosting the conference, ‘One Man. One Woman. Making the case for marriage, for the good of society’ at the Law Society HQ, London, UK, next week on May 23rd,  with contributions by senior High Court Judge Sir Paul Coleridge and others.
 
However,  the Law Society cancelled the booking, last Saturday, 12th May, claiming it was ‘contrary to diversity policy, espousing as it does (the conference) an ethos which is opposed to same-sex marriage.’ This is an extraordinary statement coming from the law society who have the power to give or take away the licence for a lawyer to practise and therefore defend Christians in court. Court cases in future will not be debated with reference to reason, truth or even justice but to political correctness or fascists Marxist ideology [1,2&3]
 
However, I have had an email from Andrea’s office, saying,
 
“At present the venue has not changed and we are committed to this important conference and determined that it will go ahead. We will seek an alternative Central London venue if necessary and will notify all guests of this move as soon as possible.”
 
“Given the current situation, we feel that it is particularly important that the conference is well attended so please do encourage your networks to book a place.
Following the day conference; ‘One Man. One Woman’ at The Law Society, The Bow Group will be hosting an evening debate, 6:30-8pm in The Boothroyd Room, Portcullis House, at which various MPs including, David Burrowes MP, Fiona Bruce MP, Phillip Blond and Andrew Lilico, will speak on the topic of the Government's consultation, looking at how the redefinition of marriage will impact society. If you or anyone from your networks would like to attend this event please can you let me know.” Contact details: http://www.christianconcern.com/contact-us
 
I would  urge you to uphold Andrea and her brave team in prayer and back this with financial support as she and other  Christian lawyers, like the Christian Institute, are all that separate us from a totalitarian state- the church having long since retreated behind its stained glass windows and ‘messy church.’ What will happen when they are no longer there to represent us in court?
 
Also let us not forget Mr and Mrs Wilkinson, who like Mr and Mrs Bull run a Christian B&B and are being persecuted by homosexuals, even as I write. Please read the attachment.
 
Also please write  to  Mr Desmond Hudson, Chief Executive of the Law Society or email him and/ or the Law society, expressing, respectfully, our objection to this decision.  Contact addresses are:
 
Mr Desmond Hudson; Chief Executive, The Law Society, 113 Chancery Lane, London WC2A 1PL;   desmond.hudson@lawsociety.org.uk
 
 
You might write something along the lines of this:
 
 
Dear Sir,
 
The World Congress of Families, led by Andrea Minichiello Williams, was to have hosted the conference, ‘One Man. One Woman. Making the case for marriage, for the good of society’ at the Law Society HQ, London, UK, next week on May 23rd,  with contributions by senior High Court Judge Sir Paul Coleridge and others.
 
However,  the Law Society cancelled the booking, last Saturday, 12th May, claiming it was ‘contrary to diversity policy, espousing as it does (the conference) an ethos which is opposed to same-sex marriage.’
 
There is no diversity of opinion here only discrimination against Christians and a violation of the Declaration of Human Rights, article 16(3) ) "the family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the state,”  also of Article 18. The right to freedom of religion,  Article 19, the right to freedom of expression, and Article 20, the right to peaceful assembly. Added to which a right to gay marriage has already been rejected by the European Court of Human rights.
 
In the name of justice and truth we ask you to reconsider your decision and to honour the agreement that Law Society made with Andrea Minichiello Williams to hold the conference, ‘One Man. One Woman. Making the case for marriage, for the good of society’ at the Law Society HQ, London, UK, next week on May 23rd.
 
Your sincerely
