Christians on the Left are encouraging members to be a Good Samaritan and a "Twitter angel" during the coronavirus crisis.
The Christian wing of the Labour party has launched a manifesto for "thriving, not just surviving, this #COVID19 season of increased isolation."
They urge Christian members to be a witness and love their neighbour, with a manifesto that says: "Don't panic, wash your hands, sacrifice your loo roll, say your prayers, for the many - not for me, stay at home, be a Good Samaritan, use a lifeline, fight for the rights, be a Twitter angel, ooze hope, choose love."
Louise Davies, chair of Christians on the Left, told Premier Christian News: "My heart and my prayer for this season is that we are going to see a healing for our land, not just of the virus but of those barriers and the hate that has been built up over the past season.
"In there it also says 'fight for your rights', so if you are a political activist, it is making sure the most vulnerable are being looked after and pushing the Government into action."
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
