New PM’s vital in-box

By the time the next issue of en comes out, the United Kingdom will have a new Prime Minister.

At the time of writing, the last two candidates are busy appealing to Conservative Party members with a wide variety of promises and prophecies about how successful they’ll be in the post. Whatever your personal feelings about the two, it’s a huge job. The reputational damage of the last few years also doesn’t help.

September also sees the return of the Westminster Parliament with MPs and Peers sitting again from 5 September. The Scottish Parliament is back in action too, as is the Welsh Parliament. Meanwhile, in Northern Ireland there’s been little progress on the formation of an Executive. Can I encourage you to pray for your elected representatives, whoever they are? Why not email them and let them know you’re praying for them as they start a new season?
