Three other election views: ‘What unites us is Christ’

Houses of Parliament

Of course, other parties are also taking part in this election.

And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

‘This is pretty clear that God put us in charge of the rest of creation. The obvious implication is that He intends us to properly steward it. Because of this, I believe that we have to at least consider environmental issues when thinking about politics.
