Sometimes events overtake us and we have to respond – and even engage! With a General Election in the UK on Thursday, 12 December, Adventist leaders have chosen to rapidly prepare guidance for the general public as they consider their election options.
Neal adds, “Have we nothing to say? Can our words soothe? What if we could inject a positive, non-partisan, hope-filled message into the conversation of the moment? How do inspired ‘ancient words’ provide the big picture? Do we have a message for the moment?”
Keeping the content local and relevant, eleven UK-based writers provoke, challenge, and share the God perspective with clarity. The result – a resource for members who, in the name of Christ, wish to turn an everyday conversation into Good News. Look inside and discover both rules and prayers of engagement, from the armchair to the ballot box.
“One of the many mores held by the British is that one should not discuss politics or religion around the dining table,” states Pastor Ian Sweeney, President of the Adventist Church in the UK and Ireland. Encouraging positive engagment he states, “the articles in this Focus magazine are well worth discussing around the family dining table as well as with neighbours and friends.
The print magazine is available to all members in the UK and Ireland and extra copies may be purchased from the Stanborough Press.
