general election
churches getting ready
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 resources on these pages will 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.
