How Christians and Churches Can Support Elected Parliamentarians

Christians engaging in party politics have to study the philosophical and ideological bases and history of the different parties before deciding where to join and to engage. In that research, special attention should be paid to how much space is given in the different parties for their members, activities, and elected representatives following their Christian conscience in key moral and ethical questions. Entering a political party without a sound philosophical and ideological platform and history, as well as a real space to follow one’s conscience, would prove an effort in vain due to the lack of possibilities of bringing about any change within that party and in politics in general.
