Deborah Gyapong: Sorry for the light blogging! But I was busy

Sorry for the light blogging! But I was busy

I have many pictures to upload from the amazing International Pro-Life Conference held here in Ottawa from Thursday until Saturday. I participated on a panel on the media with LifeSiteNews.com editor John-Henry Weston. The president of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, the world's oldest pro-life organization, John Smeaton mentions our panel on his blog:

John-Henry Westen, co-founder and first editor of Lifesite news, is pictured here on the conference platform in Ottawa with Deborah Gyapong, a TV, radio and print journalist for over 20 years. John-Henry has become one of the world’s leading pro-life witnesses. Earlier this month at the World Prayer Congress for Life in Rome he spoke powerfully about his conversion experience to life and to family values, inspired by the example of his father (who, John-Henry tells me, was, in his turn, inspired by the leadership of Jim Hughes). John-Henry’s Lifesite news articles now appear in hundreds of publications worldwide. He and Dianne, his wife, have seven children.
Deborah Gyapong belongs to the traditional Anglican communion and she now reports on religion and politics principally for Roman Catholic and evangelical newspapers. In 2005, the manuscript for her suspense novel The Defilers won the Best New Canadian Christian Fiction Award. The prize included publication. The Defilers was released in May 2006.


I gave John a copy of The Defilers to read on the plane on the way back to the U.K. I hope he enjoys it. I certainly enjoyed meeting him.
