Where have all the lefty Christians gone?

Hello,

This article in the New Statesman does indeed ask a pertinent question and I think the writer is sympathetic to the debt the UK left owes to christians. However, note the context he refers to. He recalls a friend who has the courage to admit having faith in that niche environment; the North London dinner party.

It needs to be said, Christians on the left, originally came from diverse social backgrounds, particulary the non-conformist working classes. Given the moral and spiritual confusion of the UK middle classes perhaps it is not surprising that there seem to be few christians at Hampstead dinner parties. More is the pity, says Uncle Arthur.
