It was great to meet with a number of senior Northamptonshire church leaders in Westminster last week to discuss important matters relating to the practising of faith in the UK in the 21st century, along with the key issues and concerns being raised by their congregations. I was really interested to hear the views of the different leaders and recognise how important it is to promote inclusion and understanding, as well as working together to stamp out extremism. Our many churches also play a key role in local life and so it was nice to be able to say “thank you” for their invaluable contribution to our communities here in Corby & East Northamptonshire.
