Church preparation for the election

A general election will be held sometime before 3 June 2010, with predictions for 6 May, the same date as many local elections in England.

The Churches Together in Britain and Ireland website has resources to help churches and Christians in general to prepare for the election. These materials do not support a 'Church' view or party line, but aim to help Christians engage with a range of important issues facing our country, however they may decide to vote.

Faith in Politics: Preparing Churches for the General Election 2010 covers a range of the most important policy issues, such as children and young people, criminal justice, the economy, education, environment, health, migration, poverty, and others. For each topic there are sections on subject background, the main issues, suggested questions to candidates and contact details for more information.

Planning a Hustings Meeting contains guidelines for local churches, Churches Together groups or Christian organisations thinking of organising a hustings meeting.
