Two leading Christian Politicians are coming to Preston to speak at a half day conference organized by Preston Christian Action Network (PCAN) in partnership with Preston Evangelical Network (PEN).

The Rt. Hon. Stephen Timms, Labour MP for East Ham was appointed Minister for Competitiveness in June 2007. Alistair Burt, Conservative MP for North East Bedfordshire is Shadow Minister for Local Government and Regeneration.

They will be joined by other local elected politicians from various party and faith backgrounds in a Question Time style forum. The event will be held at The Salvation Army Preston, Harrington Street Preston PR1 7BN on Saturday, 29th September from 9.30am-2pm.

Anyone wishing to attend must reserve a place by sending an email to pcan@maister-smith.fsnet.co.uk. or phoning Greg Smith on 01772 555425.

There is a £10 charge for the event which includes lunch, with a reduction to £5 for unwaged people. Organiser Greg Smith said, It is a privilege to have two such high ranking politicians at our conference. This is a unique chance for local Christians to consider getting involved in political processes which can impact society, to reflect Biblically on politics and to pray together for our politicians.
