A third tranche of high-level training in public speaking, media interview skills and public square apologetics is beginning for those who want to improve how they articulate their Christian worldview, and to make the case to the church that politics is an important mission-field. It will begin in October 2025 and run to July 2026. The glorious side effect is that you will also find some fellow travellers, genuine support, and perhaps even learn to disagree well!
15 places are available. There will be 6 workshops through the calendar year, and they will be interactive, encouraging, challenging and fun (as anyone who has participated before can tell you).
Application is via a 3 minute video emailed to info a_t christiansinpolitics d_o_t org d_o_t uk (before July 12th 2025). That's NO MORE than 2 minutes of you doing a talk to a ‘church audience’ making the biblical case for being involved in politics. Think about how you can best showcase your abilities as a communicator to make the message memorable. Then take a breath and follow that by telling us about yourself, your faith and your political engagement in the next minute. NO MORE than 1 minute. Running over will count against you! All queries to the above email address please.
We often find that many people can articulate the reasons why Christians are called to be politically active, but less are able to answer the many challenging questions that arise during Q and A sessions after a talk. We want to tool people up for those responses, sharpening each other in interactive roleplay situations. We have seen how a confidence boost, some reframing and increased precision can make all the difference, especially in a public square where any perceived mis-steps can be magnified at speed!
Please do apply or encourage others who have a passion for communication in the public square to do so. You are our talent spotters and PR department!
Many thanks,
Andy Flannagan
Executive Director
