David Cameron expresses pride in Christian wing of the Conservatives

The Christian wing of the party is celebrating its 25th anniversary.

At an event to mark the occasion at Westminster Central Hall in London, Education Secretary Nicky Morgan read out a message from David Cameron. She said: "Let me send my best wishes to everyone involved in the CCF.

"This silver anniversary is a milestone of which everyone in this party should be proud. Well done. Here's to the next 25 years."

MPs, church leaders and members of the CCF gathered for the celebration and heard from Canon Andrew White, Vicar of Baghdad, who gave the Chair of the group a mosaic cross made by Iraqi refugees.

He went on to encourage those working in politics to not 'take care but take risks'. He also joked that if God was there in person he would be a member of CCF.

The Conservative Christian Fellowship was formed in 1990 by Tim Montgomerie and Conservative MP David Burrowes while they were students at Exeter University.

It now seeks to be the bridge between the Christian world and Conservatives.

The group regularly hosts prayer meetings for Parliament and runs a course to equip Christians for leadership roles.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
