Twelve Pentecostal and New Church networks are combining their efforts in order to give their opinions political clout. Representatives from the churches have met senior Christian politicians and other Christian pressure groups to discuss how they can gain better influence in politics. The church groupings include the Elim Pentecostal Church, Assemblies of God, NewFrontiers, Pioneer and Vineyard. They believe that so far only the traditional denominations get a hearing in Parliament and that a large number of Christians in the country go unrecognised. They want to help MPs appreciate the views of these believers. Each network has its own concerns and will appoint people to represent them to MPs, but the churches plan to cooperate on issues like social justice, the environment, diversity and equality, and the family. Pray: that God’s people will continue working together to influence the political arena. (Php.4:1)
