According to the Christian Peoples Alliance (also known as the Christian Party) website this UK political party was:
- founded in 2000 by leading members of the non-party Movement for Christian Democracy, which in turn was formed in 1991 by a group of cross-party Christian Members of Parliament. The CPA has adopted the same principles and social vision, summarised as the Six Principles of Christian Democracy. These are Active Compassion, Respect for Life, Social Justice, Wise Stewardship, Empowerment and Reconciliation[1].
The party's beliefs are summed up as:
- We believe that Christianity gives a vision for the whole of politics - through principles, policies, peacemaking, economic policy and ethics. The Bible as God's revelation and Jesus' words and life are our central guide. We see the death and resurrection of Jesus as the central human event, bringing peace with God, and renewed life. We want to live within God's love and forgiveness, rather than remain within the old patterns of human failure in life and politics[2].
Since 2000 the party has competed in elections on the European, National and local level. In the 2009 European elections they received 249,493 votes[3].
