WATCH: Participating in Democracy

A Church Times webinar in association with Modern Church

The Church Times and Modern Church hosted a webinar last June, before the UK General Election, discussing the power of voting, and power beyond voting. How can we be active as Christian communities, joining with others, across difference, to build people-power, and make a positive difference in our local communities?

The webinar was chaired by Professor Elaine Graham of Modern Church, with Jonathan Cox, Deputy Director of Citizens UK; the Revd Tim Norwood, National Ecumenical Officer for the Church of England, and Bishop Mike Royal, General Secretary of Churches Together in England.
