FAITH AND POLITICS AN INVESTIGATION INTO CHRIST...

This research paper aimed to find out the extent to which faith plays a part in the political
decision making of Christian MPs. The MPs who were used in this study were from Christians in
Parliament All-Party Group. Interviews took place with seven MPs  in order to question them
about the role of their Christian faith as they work within the political arena. These
interviews took place in London and consisted of nine questions  dealing with three concise
topics  the Christians in Parliament group  personal influences of faith and the future of
religion and politics. Amongst a great deal of interesting data  there were a number of key
themes that can be drawn from this research. Christian MPs have a unique pressure upon them
which derives from their faith and having to balance this in their job as a politician. In
response to this pressure  this paper has found that MPs are determined in their endeavours to
keep the Christian faith embedded in British society. Also  this paper has highlighted the
great extent to which faith impacts individual MPs decision making. Overall  this research has
furthered understanding of the impact of faith on Christian MPs and the extent to which this
affects their decision making processes. It has enabled us to recognise the constant conflict
faced by Christian MPs. This research has also raised awareness of the challenges for Christian
members  whilst highlighting the debate regarding the extent to which religion continues to
play a part in politician s decision making. As well providing a compelling insight  this work
is a platform for further research into this area of study.
