Well, today I finally took a step I have been seriously considering for many moons now, motivated by a desire to get more stuck into non-Christian activities and a strong belief that politics is important and should be closer to that of the labour party (I posted on why I support New Labour on my politics blog a while back), I decided to join the Labour Party. Controversial as this may seem to many, I think my party (!) has on the whole had a good run in government, and I hope for it to have much longer. Over the past year or so (when I wouldn’t have known the difference between parliament and government, probably), I’ve been increasingly of the opinion that politics is sufficiently important that Christians should make much more of an effort to be involved - to think through and study the whole range of political questions, and how Christianity should impact them, and to get stuck in. So, if you’re a Christian reading this, I demand you go out and join a party yourselves - especially if it is the correct one!
In other news, I have recently discovered that a badger has been pretending to me - the imposter. A general warning to everyone who reads this blog - if you come across anyone with black and white stripes claiming to be the ever-wise Theology John (ooh that reminds me - Screech described me today as a great theologian), they are almost certainly lying.
Oh and I really loved relay training day today - really enjoyed getting to know the brum relay girls better on the train etc, and it was also good to spend some time with everyone that I haven’t seen since forum/last team day. I hope future ones are as good.
