Thomas More Institute

10.30am–1.00pm | Coffee from 10.00am

Christians today often feel marginalised in the ‘public square’. This symposium, in two sessions, will seek a better understanding of the current environment, with a view to finding ways to overcome the obstacles to effective communication and to achieving significant impact on public policy. Both are clearly crucial to effective evangelisation in modern society.
