BR EXIT OR BR EMAIN - WHAT ’ S A C HRISTIAN BR ESPONSE ? There will be a referendum on 23 June about whether Britain should remain in the EU. Politicians and the media are getting pretty heated about it. Let’s spend time thinking about a distinctively Jesus-based response.

C HRISTIANS H AVE P OLITICAL V IEWS ! It is by working together that we can build and maintain peace; that we can stand up and inspire action against global inequalities; and that we can form strong inclusive communities. This is why I want to stay IN. - Sarah Dickson, Director of the Liberal Democrat Christian Forum Unity and peace are best maintained when governance is as near to the people as possible, and when that governance is transparent and accountable. I’m a #BeLeaver! - Dr Adrian Hilton, academic, theologian, Oxford University

Pray first! “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10

Pray first! Fear not! But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:33,34

Pray first! Fear not! Dig wells! John 4:14 Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.

Pray first! Fear not! Dig wells! Seek the kingdom! Luke 22:25-30 The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules like the one who serves … I am among you as one who serves.

Pray first! Fear not! Dig wells! Seek the kingdom! Be salty! Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. James 1:19

Pray first! Fear not! Dig wells! Seek the kingdom! Be salty! Disciple nations! “I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was ill and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” Matt 26:35,36
