Welsh Christian Democrats Establish Presence in National Politics
European Christian Democrats Stand Behind CPA in May Election
As Leader of CDL I send my best wishes to the Christian Peoples Alliance,
wishing every success.
We know that CPA is a wholly pro-life political party and it is of the greatest importance that it obtains representation at every level of British political life open to it. We pray for a successful outcome in the elections.
Recognising our Heritage
CPA Cymru want our children to understand and respect the Christian values of our forefathers: values of peacefulness and of tolerance and respect for all people regardless of age, race, gender, culture and belief; values of trust and commitment to serving others, for the common good, even when it is difficult and painful to do so.
The annual Assembly budget for Culture, the Welsh Language and Sport is £134 million. In addition to this, in 2003, £33 million was spent building the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea, to recognise and celebrate our industrial and maritime heritage.
In 2004 £7 million was spent re-developing the Big Pit Mining Museum in Blaenavon to recognise and celebrate our coal mining heritage.
Labour ministers are happy to authorise spending to celebrate our industrial heritage and CPA Cymru does not begrudge this.But we have a thrilling Christian heritage to celebrate, too - for example, St David, St Patrick, the Methodist and 1904 revivals and Welsh men and women taking Christianity around the world from the Himalayas to Patagonia. Christianity also has an important role to play in helping to shape Welsh identity today and a better Wales for tomorrow.
We would now like to see £3 million of the £134 million budget put towards a National Centre to celebrate the Religious Heritage of Wales.
