Final countdown to the Diocesan Conference - including livestream times

The Diocesan Conference - Found by Jesus in Luke and Acts - at Liverpool Hope University runs from July 6-9.

For the very latest updates including a full programme to download - visit this page of the Diocesan website.

There will be livestreams of all five keynote speakers direct from the conference and recordings will remain online after they have each spoken.

There may be a little wriggle-room but the livestreams are scheduled for the following times:

• 3.45pm and 7.15pm on July 6 for Keynotes 1 and 2
• 10.30am on July 7 for Keynote 3
• 10.30am on July 8 for Keynote 4
• 10.30am on July 9 for Keynote 5

Please note all the above start times are 15 minutes before the keynote speaker will begin because each livestream will feature a 'green room' introduction with Rev. Alex Frost and Rev. Chris Krawiec. Alex and Chris will set out a bit about what's coming up and chat briefly with each keynote speaker before they go on stage.

The livestreams of the five keynote addresses at the conference will appear on the Fruitful app (search Fruitful, Blackburn Diocese on your app store if you don't have it already).

Then, go to the bottom of the app homepage and tap 'Conference' between the 'Home' and 'Daily Prayer' tabs. At the top of the next page there is a 'Live' tab to tap, where the livestreams will appear.

They will also be broadcast under the 'Live' tab on the Diocesan YouTube channel. Search 'YouTube Blackburn Diocese' to find it.

Why not organise a watch party of church friends or show them at a special church event? Let us know if you are planning to do that by tagging us on social media.

Alongside the livestreams, we will also give a flavour of what has happened each day via short video montages which will be posted at the end of each of the four days.
