faith in what? God. Man made theory, easier to believe in something rather than nothing. God free regards

For centuries Britain has been a Christian nation and during that time it has enjoyed God's blessings of huge prosperity and deliverance in times of need. The Miracle of Dunkirk is only one of many. Nowadays we are no longer a Christian nation and I fear His wrath in consequence. I'm a member of UKIP and my politics are of the libertarian right so I'm not minded to join the Christian Party at present but I'll keep an eye on what you're doing: He may direct me to change my allegiance. God bless you and your efforts. Richard Rawsthorn

Thankyou! This information just proved what I already believed! Love in Christ to you all!

I am so pleased that at last christians and none christians can vote for a party who puts God first, it's just a shame a major newspaper has not endorsed you like they have the three major parties, but the word is getting out about the christian party, have you a candidate in birmingham? all the best for may 6th 2010 could you not get on a major news channel before thursday, the three parties are politically correct, enough said you are aware what they are doing going against God's law righteous exhaults a nation keep up the good work

As a person of strong faith I trust that in line with the 6th commandment, Genesis 1:29, your abortion stance, the practice of Jesus himself and general non violence that the CP preach and practice veganism. Likewise I trust you do not uphold bigotry on the lines of gender preference. There is no scripture of Jesus doing so. To preach in His name that which is not attributable to Him is to take His name in vain. For the lion to be at peace with the lamb, we ought to be first.

Please could i have a definition of Liberalism as it applies to the church. Thank you

Why do churches in the U.K. put first social work instead of preaching Jesus and sharing Gospel?

Can you please spell out the prophesies for this nation if we fail to repent. Thank you.

I think I have come to like the Christian party

I admire your stance and support the principles of your party. I chair the management committee of Agape House a christian charirty which hasd 2 houses providing 25 bed accommodation for 25 male drug addicts. We have been subject to some persecution by Bradford Council who attacked our good name in order to withdraw our funding (proven by independent enquiry) We feel that our mission and support would help reduce crime even more if we had the same partnership status as you seem to have with the Met. I firmly believe that despite the amazing work and the many lives saved and crime reduced there is stil ant-christian attitudes by a number of key decision makers in Bradford. Can you offer any advice or help?

This report has been discussed at two Deanery Synod meetings I have attended. I have been a PCC rep for nearly 25 years and I say with absolute conviction that these two meetings were the most useful I have been at over those years. Many felt we were able to talk about core issues which up until now seem to be avoided for fear of offending some people. It is most useful to have this document to generate debate over the things that really matter instead of going over and over again the tired old issues that have distracted the dear old C of E from its real task of helping and reaching people at the grass roots.

I received details of your survey anonymously through the post which put me off to begin with. Your doctrinal basis is inadequate as although it refers to Jesus as Lord makes no reference to him as Saviour from sin which is surely the basis of Christianity. Although Christians should be involved in politics, those who want to form a Christian party should learn a lesson from the religious right in America. According to the Daily Telegraph on 11th April 2009 American Christians had been corrupted by politics and needed to return to the absics of social work and preaching the gospel rather than "devoting their energies to getting a few people elected." People were more concerned with fund raising and political power than with the needs of the people. As a church warden and PCC member of one of the largest evangelical Anglican churches in the north of England I regret that I could not commend your survey therefore to the PCC I serve.

all religion should be banned, because although there should only be one religion to follow the lord jesus christ, who now realy does?. we have all fallen short of the glory of God because of all our sins, each and everyone of us on the face of this planet as sinned, and as most know who follow god, Jesus Died at calvery and shed is blood for all our sins, so we are free in him, but to realy be free in him we must not go on sinning, so here is the BIG QUESTION if we cannot stop sinning then why have a religion, we might just as well stand and praise LUCK.?

I think Jesus would have commented: "If only it were that simple!"

i watched a docuo_drama about Margret Thatcher. i grew up during that time. i belive Gods hand was upon this country during this time. when her ministers stabbed her in the back and labour eventully got in things went down hill very fast. I dont belive Gods hand is on our country now. also so much false teaching in the churches. if Gods hand is off our country then we will be sucked into europe quicker than we think. All i can say is GOD HELP US.

It is great that you are standing up against the watering down of the gospel. It is surely the major issue within the church today. Where does one draw the line? The acceptance of women pastors beginning in the twentieth century was the beginning of the watering down process. How do you fight against the liberalizing of Gods word when the Anglican, and many other, western churches are the main proponents of it?

With reference to the breaking down of society and the family as known 50 years ago it seems to me that the Christian church and religion in general is against the liberation of women and blame them for this ‘breakdown’. Without going into the blame and guilt scenario the church often relies on to motivate it’s believers, the reason why women need liberation and independence, even when they are mothers and have family, is because of the way men have repressed them and controlled them in the past. Times have changed and now the infrastructure of society needs to change with it. Men need to learn to be more loving, caring and understanding not to mention emotive and aware of feelings in others. The government needs to ensure children get enough love from both parents not just relying on the mother to do it all. The church needs to accept that women need to work and contribute so that they are equal and valued in society. I think that the church is still living in the dark ages and rather than taking the initiative and supporting women as well as men to create a new infrastructure they are trying to drag us back behind the kitchen sink so that we cannot challenge men and their selfish ways.

oh dear. i fear for this survey. it's clearly unearthed a lot of dissatisfaction but it's not clear that these responses - a lot of which garnered from daily mail readers! - actually put the church back on track. it's good of you to remind us that all these people are out there but i think your survey - in wording and in terms of the sort of people likeliest to respond - is hopelessly skewed. and that maybe you guys who paid for it have a strong desire to put the comments across in line with your own agenda. it's like you're validating your own ideas by getting thousands of people to write rather predictably in. the methodology is inadequate to the task. sorry. the proposals - if realisable - might well put some bums back on pews and enlarge a certain variety of church but i'm unclear what it does for the kingdom. and then the christian party that follows starts by asking for money after knocking the churches for doing that. and ends by giving most sensible christian people i know some slightly sinister shivers. don't get me wrong. i'd love to see 2 chronicles 7:14 be fulfilled. but i think this way of going about things plays into the hands of someone rather than god. of course i may be wrong.

what is the reflection of anglican churches in uganda{world at large} interms of preaching, holy communion, and other church activities.

It is patently not secularism which is the threat to our society but the closed minded views of ignorant people of faith...you have the monopoly on blind hate rather than rational debate. No doubt I have used your 'forum' an unreasonable and inappropriate manner. Surely reason does not matter to people of faith...shame.
