We asked this on Facebook and got some interesting thoughts. However what made me sad was the response of Christians how wanted us to ask heavy questions about giving Christians a break or protecting the right of Christians. I will not be asking a question about the church. I will be asking the following if given the opportunity.
"Several of the candidates accept responsibility for the Olympics, who wants to accept responsibility for changing the fact 1 of 4 children live in poverty in London?"
Why because...
a)nothing the church 'suffers' in the uk is compared to the suffering many innocent children experience.
b) Jesus looks after the church, not the mayor of london/ UK government.
c) Jesus and Paul seemed more concerned with Justice and the Gospel rather then and fate of the church.
d) suffering is something we suffer because of our Gospel and because we stand with those others exclude. To suffer is to follow Jesus.
It's not that i'm not concerned with the fate of the church, it's just as part of the church i think of others before myself!
Have a great day.

so we were told it was to be the london mayor special, here are my prepared questions instead as that's not to be the case.

With research out this week that volunteering numbers are down. Rather then telling people, how do we inspire them to volunteer?
With powerful men in the private sector and government helping to keep each other in power, what hope is there for those who are powerless, poor and on the margins?
