Donald Trump might offend our British sensibilities, but Christians in the UK should be careful when criticising their brothers and sisters across the pond, says former MP, Miriam Cates. He may not be the man you want leading your church, but the new President-elect has much to offer the USA
In a remarkable political comeback that took many by surprise, Donald Trump won a convincing victory in last week’s US presidential election. The Republican former-president increased his support across a wide range of voters including Evangelical Christians, 82 per cent of whom voted for him.
To many Christians in the UK, Trump may seem an odd choice for President. With his colourful private life, extra-marital affairs and criminal charges, he is certainly no model of Christian virtue. Yet he has much to offer American believers.
