"A Christian political party?

"Has the time come for something completely different: a Christian political party? Such a party, sustained by the word of God, would accept the burden of providing an adequate anti-nuclear defence. But it would also insist that the quality of life is more important than the standard of living and try to nudge the nation away from preoccupation with bank-balances to preoccupation with peace and honour, tolerance and godliness.

"A dream? But then so, once, was a free parliament, universal suffrage and Catholic emancipation.

"Are we really prepared to say that good government is impossible?"

Rev. Professor Donald Macleod, Principal of the Free Church College, Edinburgh:

'Focus', The Free Church Monthly Record, Nov. 1986.

 

 

Another College Principal calls for a Christian party

"If the SSP (Scottish Socialist Party) and the Greens can get more than a dozen MSPs by asking people to give them their second vote in the elections to the Scottish Parliament, then we [Christians] could do the same." [note that the Regional vote is now the first vote, not the second vote]

"I have wondered about starting a Scottish Christian Party and asking every person in Scotland who attends church to give us their second vote at the next election. If only half of this 600,000 did so, we would be a force to be reckoned with."

Rev. Professor Andrew McGowan, Principal of the Highland Theological College, Dingwall:
Life and Work, June 2003, the monthly magazine of the Church of Scotland. See also the report in the Edinburgh Evening News 20/6/2003.

 

 

Britain's prince of preachers

"I often hear it said, 'Do not bring religion into politics.' This is precisely where it ought to be brought! I would have the Cabinet and Members of Parliament do the work of the nation as before the Lord, and I would have the nation, either in making war or peace, consider the matter in the light of righteousness. We have had enough of clever men without conscience. Now let us see what honest, God-fearing men will do."

Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Metropolitan Tabernacle, London

 

 

What the future may hold for Britain?

 

Teaching Christian doctrine
31/5/2007 Alan Johnson MP, Secretary of State for Education, was interviewed this morning by John Humphrys on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme. He was asked if faith schools should be allowed to teach same sex partnerships are wrong. He thought they should not.

 

So as Secretary of State for Education he wanted to suppress the expression of Christian opinion. Christians, we must wake up.

 

What is the humanist agenda?
Richard Dawkins quotes with approval the sentiments of psychologist Nicholas Humphrey: “So we should no more allow parents to teach their children to believe, for example, in the literal truth of the Bible or that the planets rule their lives, than we should allow parents to knock their children's teeth out or lock them in a dungeon.” (The God Delusion, pp. 366-7). This is a clear breech of Christian freedom. The public should be concerned at the possibility of a humanist stranglehold upon the private lives of families. In atheistic China, parents are not allowed to teach their religion to their own children. We asked some Scottish Humanist Society members if they want the same in Scotland? We still await a response from them. See Bible for Highland Councillors instead of Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion

 

Free speech for Christians?
There was a debate in the House of Lords on 7/5/2008 and a clause to allow free speech for Christian opinion was won by a small majority. The House of Commons may yet reverse this, as the Government opposed this clause in support of freedom of speech. See Free speech victory
