A Resource Pack for Election Time

These resources are designed to inspire individuals, local churches and Evangelical Alliances to pray, think, ask questions and encourage others to do the same as they prepare to vote in local, national or European elections.

“I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians,” said Charles de Gaulle.

The word “politics” comes from “polis”, meaning the affairs of the city. Politics is what everyone – who chooses to get involved – can do and say to help shape the society they live in. If we opt out, then others will carry on doing the shaping almost certainly in ways we don’t like.

It may seem that citizens have little possible influence over the “affairs of the city”. But let’s hold on to what we can do.

We can learn. We can pray. We can be champions of truth. We can vote with discernment.

These resources will help you. Please let others know about them. We welcome translations.
