Politics

Interesting result just in from the Australia elections. Kevin Rudd, the Labor candidate, is the new Prime Minister. He is a committed Christian, something he has constantly made clear throughout his campaign.

If we add to that the clear Christian faith that President Bush has (I don't like his politics but the faith is clear enough) and the apparent Christian faith of Gordon Brown (and Blair before him) we are seeing some key Christians in key world positions. And I've not even started to talk of the faith of many African leaders.

I don't expect any of these men will make all the right decisions. But I'm grateful that they pray and believe - and are in a position to influence this world for good.
