Similarly, we must have the courage to pursue our own consciences and convictions, not glibly attach ourselves to the visions of either the neo-conservative right or the radical left. We are to live faithfully within the symbols, story and message of King Jesus that bid us to clasp our hands in prayer as much as to put them to the trowel of earthly labour in his name. So how do we build for the kingdom without falling into the trap of spiritual isolationism or being led into captivity to a political master?
