This morning I joined about 50 other people for a prayer breakfast on the subject of "Christians in Politics".
It was very encouraging to meet a wide spread of people from every main political party - and one smaller party - together with a good selection of Christian leaders.
It was also good to hear the speakers emphasise that God does call people into politics just as much He does into more obvious forms of Christian service such as the Ministry.
That wasn't the case a few years ago. I well remember other Christians being highly critical of me for being an active member of a political party and standing for public office.
Sometimes it is easy to think that growth no longer part of the Christian agenda but in this particular aspect I feel British Christianity is so much more mature than it was twenty or thirty years ago.
