At the London Mayoral Race Church Hustings at St-Martin-in-the-Fields, Liberal Democrat candidate Brian Paddick challenged the separatist position of the Christian People's Alliance. Mr Paddick, who is himself a committed Christian, explained “It is vitally important that Christians are proud of what they believe in and try to influence their parties. We need strong Christian voices within the mainstream parties…so that the Christian voice is heard in the mainstream". He encouraged people to be “a strong voice for Christ where you are, not setting yourself apart”.
