Should the church train up political leaders?
A Texan megachurch has sparked debate after launching a programme to train Christians for public office, leading to the question of whether it is ok to develop leaders for the public sphere with such a clear potential bias. Esther brought this question to Philippa Taylor and Fiona Stewart, who are both involved in Christian leader development programmes in the UK.

Esther Higham spoke to Dr Rob Barwood-Symons, co-author of the study, to get a deeper look at how the research was conducted, what it’s really telling us, and why the critics may have muddled their maths.
