MP on the spot at Walk Cumbria events

May 10, 2007 10:05 AM

Tim Farron, MP for Westmorland and Lonsdale, will be in the hot seat at two events organised as part of the Walk Cumbria Mission; on Friday night Tim will be facing an audience of young people who have been invited to 'grill' him on issues of Christianity and politics a Question Time session with the Bishops of Penrith and Carlisle this Saturday.

Walk Cumbria is an evangelistic programme running during May, and is supported by the country's Bishops - involving churches of any denomination in Cumbria that would wish to be involved.

Tim Farron said:

"It is important to support Walk Cumbria, as a Christian in public life it is important that I put my head above the parapet so that I can be held to account on what I believe.

"In a modern, secular world it is important that Christians are prepared to speak out."

Ambleside is running a mission until 13th May, which involves teams of volunteers helping the church to present its message in all sorts of different ways in various places including homes, schools, clubs, and pubs.

The Question Time session will take place at Ambleside Parish Centre this Saturday (12th) from 7.30pm.

For more information please contact Dr Andrew Rotheray from Walk Cumbria on 01539 435912.

    If you are a resident of the Westmorland and Lonsdale constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
