I interviewed Nick Clegg, the new Liberal Democrat leader (pictured), for 45 minutes on Monday. (Right now he's licking his wounds from a mauling over the Euro referendum issue, of course). He came across as a decent and thoughtful man. I can't say much about the exchange at this juncture, as Third Way, the Christian social comment monthly, will be publishing Q&A excerpts as the 'High Profile' feature, probably in their May issue. However, as a trailer, I have today done my fortnightly Wardman Wire 'Thinking Aloud' column on an issue related to Clegg's personal convictions, the matter of politicians doing or not doing God. In addition, I write the monthly 'Westminster watch' column for Third Way - which is about to re-launch with a snazzy new design. See also the earlier Ekklesia pieces: Subverting the manifestos (around the time of the last general election) and God and the politicians.
Religion is rarely out of the news. But how much of it is simply "bad faith" for humanity and the planet? Simon Barrow reflects theologically on current events (and cultural blips) from an engaged Christian perspective. FaithInSociety seeks a conversation between reason and hope, shaped by the subversive memory of the Gospel. (c) SB 2003-12.
