Faith in British Democracy: A Christian Vision for Political Engagement
With democracy under pressure everywhere, can Christians recover a positive vision for political engagement?
This four-week course explores a vision of constructive and critical participation in British democracy. Cynicism about politics is at an all-time high, citizens are divided and angry, and democracy seems unable to promote the common good. Given rising global religious extremism, many fear the presence of religion in politics and argue for a wholly secular democracy. But Christians, not least Methodists, have long engaged in political action as an expression of love of neighbour and concern for the common good. There are rich resources in the Christian tradition to empower us to engage with politics faithfully, wisely and effectively today.
Faith in British Democracy: A Christian Vision for Political Engagement delves into these resources, equipping participants to become more articulate and confident Christian citizens working for the common good. The course is designed for anyone engaged in or interested in British politics, campaigning or church-based action. Through readings, conversation and reflection on participant’s practical experience, we will explore a broad Christian vision of democracy and consider its application in concrete areas of political life.
Advent in a time of crisis
Our partners at The Queen’s Foundation in Birmingham are offering an evening of reflection on “Advent in a time of crisis” on Monday, November 28th, at 7.30pm
It can be attended in person or accessed online, and the cost is minimal.
This would be a wonderful stimulus for your Advent groups or studies, and registration also comes with a free resource booklet to aid individuals or groups to continue the reflection.
Details of the event can be found on the Queen’s website, along with the link to register.
