C4T hustings

St James's Church was packed tonight for the General Election hustings organised by Christians for Transformation in Bermondsey and Rotherhithe.

Brilliantly chaired by Julian Kelly, a senior civil servant who worships at City Hope Church, the panel was made up of the parliamentary candidates for the Conservative, Green, Labour, Liberal Democrat and UK independence parties.

Two further candidates spoke from the floor.

There was lots of good questions (some handed in before), others posed as supplementaries by the audience, all creating a lively debate for this, the last hustings before the election in our constituency.
The event was live-streamed by the SE16 website and will soon appear on YouTube.

At the end I prayed for the candidates, for God's blessing on all the people of Bermondsey and Old Southwark, and that God's will might be done on earth as it is in heaven.
