This four-week course, run by Wesley House Cambridge, explores a vision of constructive and critical participation in British democracy. Cynicism about politics is at an all-time high, citizens are divided and angry, and democracy seems unable to promote the common good. Given rising global religious extremism, many fear the presence of religion in politics and argue for a wholly secular democracy. But Christians, not least Methodists, have long engaged in political action as an expression of love of neighbour and concern for the common good. There are rich resources in the Christian tradition to empower us to engage with politics faithfully, wisely and effectively today.

The course will be run over four Tuesdays from 18 April to 9 May 2023 in a Virtual Class via Zoom, 7.00-9.00pm (UK time). Zoom link, class schedule, & outline will be provided after registration.
