Interesting article in the Sunday Telegraph last Sunday (obviously!) as Gordon Brown delivered the latest round of Blair-Brown sniping. This time, the battlefield was religion in politics.
Three opinions were noted:
This has got me thinking. I know I don’t agree with the first (the irony is that by deliberately not "doing God", Campbell was in fact taking God into account, if only by ignoring him. You can't "not do God"). I know I do agree with the third.
But should I agree with the second? In what circumstances might I agree, or disagree?
Can anyone leave a comment outlining in broad terms how Christians should approach politics? Or a useful (short!) book or resource on the subject?
And while I wait for your help, I’m going to take a look at these three helpful articles/sermons:
