Christian Values in Education (CViE), a Christian charity that aims to equip and encourage believers involved in education – parents, students, teachers, staff, governors – held its annual National Conference on 27 September with the theme “Salt and Light”, focusing on the importance for Christians to be salt and light in education today.
The event welcomed over 400 to Stopsley Baptist Church in Luton. The keynote speakers were Alun Ebenezer (Headteacher), John Denning (The Christian Institute), and James Mildred (CARE).
After introductions from the CViE Chairman Dan Sayers, James Mildred from CARE opened the conference with a talk on the positive challenge of “Being Salt and Light in a Secular World”, which is lived out as a bringer of truth to a needy culture.
