Really helpful event co-hosted by @onepeople_ea taking place this Friday.

When it's hard to find the words to respond to the violence & racism on our streets, I'm thankful for those who are willing to share & help us think it through faithfully.

As the general election begins to feel like a distant memory, Rev Celia Apeagyei-Collins (@MentorRF) urges People of Colour to engage with politics beyond the election cycle.

She tells of the injustice and disparities that people from ethnic minority groups face and how this should drive Christians to speak up and have their voice heard within politics 👇🏿

In the run up to the election I'm often asked how Christians should make up their mind how to vote.
Our political engagement should be prayerful and thoughtful, and here are six ways you might be considering in deciding where to put your cross.

Really interesting stats from @Theosthinktank.

71% of Scottish Christians would vote against independence. Still, most Scottish Christians likely to call themselves Scottish rather than British 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🚨 NEW RESEARCH: how do Brits feel about their national identity? 🇬🇧

Across Britain, national identities are particularly layered and diverse. Adding to this our many religious and political divides, how people identify is not so straight forward.

At @EAUKnews we know Christian parents care deeply about what their child is being taught at school.

We are taking a look at the new govt guidance and what this means for children, parents & teachers and will provide a briefing in the coming weeks.

Christians care for others.
It drives us to meet the needs of those in our local communities and beyond, and defines the way we vote.

But can loving our neighbours compel us to go further in our engagement with politics? @NicolaRMartin explores 👇

[Nicola Martin @NicolaRMartin]

Today @EAUKnews launch 'Thinking faithfully about politics', a new report @danny_webster and I have written based off a survey of 1,380 evangelicals.

We found that evangelicals:
👉care about politics
👉think faithfully about politics
👉are diverse in how they approach politics

[Evangelical Alliance @EAUKnews]

We all want our voice to make a difference, but it can be tricky to know how best to engage with politics.

We asked more than 1,300 evangelicals about how their faith shapes their engagement and the answers were fascinating.
