Highlands Scottish Christian Party

A winter programme introducing Christians to the Political Process

Our Inverness winter programme of talks with discussion will be on the 4th Friday of each month of August, September, October and November 2010, D.V.

Venue: Christian Youth Centre (former YMCA)
12 Bank Street, Inverness IV1 1QY

First date: 27/8/2010 at 7.30 p.m.

This monthly programme replaces our regular monthly Monday evening meeting.

The purpose of the winter programme is

1. to teach the political process

2. to show why Christians need a party and a party structure to use the political process

3. to keep abreast of current events

4. to promote discussion

5. to maintain awareness of the Scottish Christian Party and the Christian Voice in politics.

This is the church engaging with our society at the governmental or political level, as Paul was expected to do Act 9:15.

The format is:
1. short presentation
2. open discussion

Christians are being pushed around.  Don’t just take our word for it.  Visit the Christian Institute website for examples.

• Instead of being pushed around by unchristian laws, Christians need to change the law.

• The only legitimate way to change the law is by the political process.

• Just as the major parties have adopted green issues, so we need a Christian Party to encourage them to re-adopt Christian values.

Can it be done? See FAQ.

• How will YOU get Christian policies into national politics?

• The Scottish Christian Party has a way – to elect Christian politicians.

Many Christians think it is too complicated to get involved, so why not join the Scottish Christian Party to learn how to get involved?

One big Highlands push will give you a distinctly Christian Voice in the Scottish Parliament.

Christian Party Win Again in Wales

History was made recently with the third successive win of a Christian Party candidate in Llandrindod Wells in less than a year. Councillor Adam Bridgman, 41, is the third councillor to join Councillors Jeff Green and Martin Wiltshire on the town council of Llandrindod Wells.

Jeff Green, Christian Party leader in the council, comments:

‘We believe that we are going to see an increasing level of support for the party from the grassroots up as people are clearly disillusioned with politically correct politics. This is a fantastic win - a third seat for a faith-based political party. We are beginning to affect change at a local level and hopefully many others will stand in their local and county elections. We are very excited to have Adam on board. He will be a great asset to the local council.’

Adam has been married to Katherine for 18 years and they have two daughters.

Donald thanks his supporters

The Christian Party, which fought 70 constituencies in the UK General Election, has had its best national result in the Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey constituency where Dr Donald Boyd polled 835 votes. 61 candidates stood in England, eight in Wales and one in Scotland.

Donald said: “I would like to thank those electors in Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey who put their trust in my ability to articulate the Christian Voice and Vision in public life in order to restore Christian values in the political scene. The Scottish Christian Party has emerged as the most credible of the minor parties in this constituency, and we have come from a standing start to overtake the Green Party and UKIP. In the Holyrood election in 2007 the Greens beat us, but we have now overtaken them to position the Scottish Christian Party at the top of the minor parties chasing the four major parties.”

Dr Boyd hopes to have a feed-back meeting in Inverness in early June to thank his supporters and to explain to them where the Christian Voice goes from here.  Those who are interested in attending can contact him on 01463 796952. Details will be posted here in due course, D.V., in the local press and on Christians Together.
