MESSAGE FROM THE CHR ISTIAN LAW STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION AT

MCGILL

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up

and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”

Proverbs 31:8-9

Dear Brother/Sister in Christ,

Welcome to Montreal! Welcome to the McGill University Faculty of Law! We are so happy that you

have chosen to join us at our first conference in Montreal! We hope that you will take the time to mix

and mingle and draw closer to God over the next few days. Our prayer is that you will leave

refreshed, re-energized, renewed and ready to “Speak Up!”

Ours is an ever-changing world fraught with moral dilemmas and issues that challenge our faith.

Secular society has long tried to muzzle those who unashamedly profess their belief and trust in God.

By His grace we must raise our voices in what Martin Luther King Jr. calls a “call to conscience” – not

only as Christians but more so as lawyers. Our very education and profession give us a privileged

place and position in society and an opportunity to speak up and speak out – an opportunity which

we must not – cannot – pass up. Christ demands it. As lawyers, we need to speak up for those who

have no voice in our society, but we also need to speak up and tell the world about Christ and His

second coming and do so boldly and unabashedly. Christ is looking for people who are still willing

and able to say that they are, “not ashamed of the Gospel” (Romans 1:16).

President Barack Obama once said, “One voice can change a room, and if one voice can change a

room, then it can change a city, and if it can change a city, it can change a state, and if it change a

state, it can change a nation, and if it can change a nation, it can change the world. Your voice can

change the world.”

Here’s hoping that our voice, united and uttered in Jesus’ name, will change this world and usher in

the world to come.

In His Service and at Yours,

Simone Samuels and Nardia Tonge-Chernawsky Co-Presidents Christian Law Students’ Association at McGill/Association des étudiants chrétiens en droit à McGill
