Politics seems at once full of mission, sometimes even carrying the promise of social salvation - and yet it is also perhaps prone to a cynicism that is almost the opposite of faith. How does personal faith influence the way that politicians do their work? Should politicians ‘do God’? Is faith even compatible with liberalism? And why are there still Bishops in the House of Lords? To discuss faith in politics I’m delighted to be in conversation with Baroness Sal Brinton, who is President of the Liberal Democrats here in the UK, and a member of the House of Lords.
