The Lawyers Christian Fellowship (LCF) conference in mid-November was a day full of prayer for God’s help for lawyers to fulfil the call to serve him and their clients where he’s placed them.
Jago Wynne, rector of Holy Trinity Clapham, gave a whistle-stop biblical theology of work, showing how the call to daily labour is part of God’s good design for people. Jago drew on his helpful book Working Without Wilting, with many practical tips on what it looks like to work to the glory of God.
Professor Glynn Harrison, author of The Big Ego Trip, spoke on how a Christian lawyer’s ultimate identity is not to be found in their success or failures, their status in the office or their reputation with others, but ultimately in being loved and accepted completely by God based on Christ’s perfect performance. It is this liberating truth of grace which needs to be hammered down hard into hearts again and again – not least in the driven legal profession.
