Ann Benton is the chairman of the London Women’s Convention (LWC) which takes place in 2008 on Saturday October 4. It is a day of Bible exposition and worship by women for women alongside seminars addressing issues relevant to women’s lives. LWC began in 2004 and the 2008 convention will be the fifth. This year there are changes afoot and Ann spoke to EN about them.
EN: Why the change of venue for LWC?
AB: For years we have run two identical meetings on consecutive Saturdays in order to accommodate the numbers who wanted to come. But since one of the special aspects about LWC is the sense of unity it generates across the denominations, we always wanted to have one annual event as the Men’s Convention does.
It is really difficult and expensive to find large venues for hire in central London but we are excited that this year to have secured the use of the vast Excel Centre in London’s Docklands.
