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 political faith. What can we learn from the history of political theology? Can churches be (re)formed in conversation with party politics, and how can we bring an effective and ethical influence to bear on those who hold political power?

The webinar was chaired by Professor Elaine Graham of Modern Church, with Min Shermara Fletcher-Hoyte, National Principal Officer for Pentecostal, Charismatic and Multi-Cultural relations at Churches Together in England; Dr Jenny Leith, author of Political Formation: Being Formed by the Spirit in Church and World, SCM Press; and Professor Graeme Smith, founder editor of the International Journal, Political Theology, Taylor and Francis.
