Churches given chance to quiz Christian candidate for London Mayor (07/04/2004)

Churches given chance to quiz Christian candidate for London Mayor 

Christians from around London will be given the chance to quiz Liberal Democrat London Mayoral candidate Simon Hughes MP about his faith and political ambitions at a Faithworks event due to take place on Sunday April 25th.

‘Faith, Politics and Power’ will take place at Christ Church & Upton Chapel – the church.co.uk centre, and will see Steve Chalke MBE interview Simon Hughes MP about the difference his Christian faith has made to his political career. The London Mayoral candidate will also be sharing his views on the principles of Christian political involvement and answering audience questions about his faith, politics and London Mayoral candidacy.

In addition, Steve Chalke and Simon Hughes will also lead an audience debate on whether Christians should work from positions of power within the political system or seek to challenge it from the outside. 

‘Faith, Politics and Power’ takes place at Christ Church & Upton Chapel, the church.co.uk centre, at 7:00pm on Sunday 25th April. Admission to the event is free, but by pre-booked ticket only. For more information and to book your place, please phone 0207 450 9071 or visit www.faithworks.info.
