The collection attracted the attention of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who visited the Keston College in 1984. Thatcher attended a reception in Church House, Westminster on April 25, 1984. The photo was taken by Derek Davis, most likely, a hired photographer. According to a Keston News Service report (No. 198, 3 May 1984), this reception was held in order to mark Rev. Michael Bourdeaux’s announcement as the recipient of the 1984 Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion. Sir Sigmund Sternberg and the Bishop of London hosted the event, as chair and co-chair of the newly formed “Friends of Keston College.”  200 distinguished guests were in attendance, among them Margaret Thatcher. She used the opportunity to praise the work of Keston College, noting that she often quoted information provided by Keston in meetings with other heads of government because of its reliability. Margaret Thatcher is associated with the systematic economic policies of neoliberalism that emerged under the Thatcher and Ronald Reagan governments. Neoliberalism confronted the planned economies of Socialist governments throughout the decades in which the Keston Institute was most active. These linkages between the Thatcher government and the Keston College/Institute highlight the intersection of religion and ideology with the politics of neoliberalism and human rights.
