The Christian vote in federal politics
19/03/2008
It turns out that the Christian vote played a decisive role in Kevin Rudd's victory at the 2007 election. Pentecostals and evangelicals were vital in swinging elctorates that Labor needed win, and did, especially in QLD. But does this mean Labor is now "owned" by the Religious Right? that's what Christopher Pearson maintained recently in "The Australian ". He says Labor is going to have to restrain its more progressive social policy agenda. We beg to differ. What if Pentocostal and Evangelical Christians are moving to the left in Australia juts as they have been in the United States?

20/02/2008
Baptist pastor Mike Hercock is married with a wife and two kids. His church is a wine-bar in inner-Sydney Surry Hills. And he's marching in this year's gay and lesbian Mardi-Gras Parade- one of 40 Christian ministers apologising for the church's past and present treatment of gay people, and running a real risk of retaliation for doing so.
