Christians in politics developing their faith

In recent months a Bible study group for all parliamentary staff has started on Monday lunchtimes, meeting for 45 minutes in Portcullis House. Christians in Parliament have also started a new political theology reading group which meets once a month to help develop a deeper understanding of the interaction between theology and politics. Additionally, a series of videos of MPs and peers sharing what being a Christian means to them and how it impacts Parliamentary work has been prepared for distribution. In Matthew 5:13-16 Jesus calls on his disciples to be 'salt' and 'light' in the world. We can praise God that our current Christian politicians are working towards bringing out the flavours and colours of God in our politics, giving a voice to the voiceless and helping those in need.
