Well this is a first...

just had a flyer put through the door for local elections from the "Christian Party" (Wales)

Statement of Purpose

"The primary purpose of the Christian Party “Proclaiming Christ’s Lordship”, known in Wales as The Christian Party (Wales), is to proclaim the Lordship of Christ. The party also exists to empower those who confess “Jesus Christ as Lord!” to serve Him in the political sphere."

"As a Christian party we care about all sectors of society. However we do not agree that religion and politics don’t mix. That is an excuse that allows the church to renege on their responsibilities and gives the humanists a reason to keep Gods truth out of government. Nothing is outside our remit as the word says that ‘The government is in God’s hands’ God has appointed the leaders and those in authority in this nation. He has given them his authority to rule the country with truth, honesty and justice. (Dan 4:25). But somewhere things have gone wrong."...

I have never known this before in the UK...anyone from the UK know about this....and other countries do you have religions

openly standing for government...?
