Librarians' Christian Fellowship

The annual lecture is the most public of our meetings. It is intended to appeal not only to members, but also to others working in libraries and information services, and to the Christian community in general.

Attendance is often relatively high, as subjects are chosen for wide appeal, and sometimes, for their controversial nature. The lecture is usually published in the following issue of Christian Librarian.

The lecture takes place on a Saturday in Autumn each year, and has no settled venue. It has been held in places as diverse as Cardiff, Manchester and Oxford.
