One only needs to follow the media to see the challenges to the very fabric of our society that we live in. There are political and social pressures at work tearing the fabric of Malaysian society apart, not the least is the erosion of fundamental liberties of Malaysians, including the freedom of religion guaranteed under the Federal Constitution.

Both as lawyers and Christians, we occupy the social and the spiritual position of being able to effect change and defend the Federal Constitution in our work, and to advise the Church in navigating the choppy waters of today's challenges.

So, come join us for a one day seminar in Petaling Jaya, Selangor on 5 March 2016 to sit down with Christian law-yers from all over Malaysia to help plan and discuss what we as officers of the court can do to work for a better nation.

"For the end of law is not to abolish or restrain but to preserve and enlarge freedom." - John Locke
