Equipping the Church for the General Election.
How do I bring my faith to bear on how I vote? How does the Bible help me decide? How should Christians approach the world of politics – or should I even be voting at all? Bible Society has teamed up with Christians in Politics to create resources to help us think through some of these issues. We don’t take sides, but we do want Christians to be salt and light in God’s world – and elections are a time when we know we can make a difference.

How can we pray for the forthcoming election while honouring those with whom we might fundamentally disagree? Here are some words focusing on character and the Kingdom of God.
How confident do Christian leaders feel about the Bible and politics?
We surveyed close to 100 church leaders to help us understand their perceptions and confidence in the area.
Why does the General Election matter?

In the second part of our series, Paul Woolley asks what we should actually be expecting of our government.
