Getting involved in local government
Download
In many ways, local government is the area that has most direct impact on our everyday lives. The streets we walk down, the schools our children go to, the social housing we may live in, the bins we use to recycle our waste, and the care provided to our vulnerable neighbour, are all the responsibility of local councils.
Don Latham is a Christian who has worked at the very top of local government. In this resource Don looks at:
- the structure and function of local government;
- political involvement (as a local councillor);
- professional involvement (as a local government officer);
- ways in which Christians can have an influence;
- testimonies from personal experience.

"I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be... politics without God."
