At the Crossroads- the Hon John Anderson AC

Our next Newcastle Lawyer’s Christian Fellowship/ City Legal breakfast features former Deputy Prime Minister the Hon John Anderson AC.

John produces a popular video series, at johnanderson.net.au , where the tagline is ‘John in conversation with thought leaders from around the world’. But if you asked the former Deputy Prime Minister to tell his own story, what would he say? Interested?

Well, at City Legal Newcastle on 2 December, we get the opportunity to do just this – but come prepared for some surprises. You see, it was only after being forced to face the depths of human tragedy at a young age that John came to see that before considering what’s good for nations and civilizations, you need to personally wrestle with the question of your own purpose.

This will be a breakfast seminar, run by the Newcastle Lawyers Christian Fellowship, in partnership with “City Legal”, Wednesday 2 December 7:30 am- 8:30 am, in room UNH416, University House (next to the Nuspace Building), University of Newcastle, Auckland St, Newcastle. (Enter from Auckland St and take the lift to level 4!) More details and registration here. Charge is $9 (and free coffee/ tea). Everyone is welcome to come: lawyers, law students, or those just interested in the intersections between law, the public life, and the Bible!

YOU BE THE JUDGE! Newcastle City Legal breakfast

Lawyers invest their time evaluating evidence, interpreting statutes, and seeking justice within a framework designed to maintain social order. But what happens when the foundations that undergird a legal system are systematically erased? How does a shift from absolute truth to pragmatic tolerance and practical atheism reframe human rights, justice, and the rule of law?

Come along to our next Newcastle City Legal breakfast on Wednesday 19 August at 7:30 am to hear and question David Robertson (The Wee Flea) as he examines an ancient society caught in the tension between divine authority and self-determined morality—a cultural slide that began not with immediate collapse, but with subtle compromise and a collective amnesia regarding God’s law.

This will be a breakfast seminar, run by the Newcastle Christian Lawyers Fellowship, in partnership with “City Legal”, Wednesday 19 August, 7:30 am- 8:30 am, in room X703, Nuspace Building, University of Newcastle, Cnr Hunter St and Auckland St, Newcastle. More details and registration here. Charge is $5 (and free coffee), or $10 for pastries with coffee. Everyone is welcome to come: lawyers, law students, or those just interested in the intersections between law and the Bible!
