How To Vote

With All Due Respect

Now that the Prime Minister has called for an election, Christians will be bombarded by people wanting to win or influence their vote.

Some of that campaigning will be based on what people THINK influences a Christian vote. But despite the rhetoric, the Christian vote is more diverse than is often realised. What issues are on Christian minds and hearts this election?

Megan Powell du Toit and Michael Jensen put that question out there and receive significant responses from Christian leaders as well as WADR listeners. Then the WADR team then discusses how you might sort through all this as you cast your vote.

And to finish off, our resident 'Marg and Dave' review of a series that will make for good election viewing.

Help internally displaced people in Africa!

Disasters and conflicts have led to a record number of over 75 million internally displaced people, or IDPs, around the world. IDPs are people who have been forced to flee their homes but have not crossed international borders.

Almost half of all IDPs - more than the population of Australia and New Zealand combined - are in sub-Saharan Africa.

Most of the displaced have left everything behind: their homes, belongings, and livelihoods. They urgently need food, shelter, clothing, and trauma counselling. So Anglican Aid has launched a Forced to Flee Emergency Appeal to provide essential aid to IDPs in Sudan, Nigeria, Kenya, and beyond. This aid will be distributed by local churches, who are sacrificially providing for the needs of the displaced, and pointing them to the God who is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
