Politics and faith in the run up to the General Election

The Net Church in Huddersfield is running a series of sessions to explore politics and faith in the run up to the General Election in May.

The first session will take place this Sunday and will look at politics and the environment - all sessions are held at St Paul's Church, Armitage Bridge.

The Revd Ian Jamieson, curate in the Emmanuel Team, said: "This is an opportunity to discuss key issues from a Christian perspective in a non confrontational way.

"Everyone is welcome and we hope they feel able to join in and explore what the main political parties have to say on these different issues, what the Bible says and help them to feel better informed about what is important to them," he added.

The sessions are free and are all held at St Paul's on Armitage Road, Armitage Bridge.

Sun 18th Jan 4.00 – 6.00pm --- Politics and the environment

Fri 20th Feb 7.30 – 9.00pm --- Politics and welfare

Fri 20th March 7.30 – 9.00pm --- Politics and immigration

Sun 26th Apr 4.00 – 6.00pm --- Politics and taxation

The Net Church is part of the Church of England based in Huddersfield,  has no geographical 'parish' and does not own a building. It aims to help people deal with the realities of everyday life and explore the big questions in a comfortable and relaxed environment.

Most weeks, the Net Church meets at St Paul's Church Armitage Bridge on Sundays at 4.30pm where they eat a simple meal together before our service, finishing at around 6.30pm. Occasionally they meet at other places so please check the rota. www.netchurch.org.uk
