Trump may feel a curious political choice, but he captures the Christian vote for a reason

’You may have concerns about Trump’s character or his ungracious language towards political opponents or migrants. Many Americans share those reservations, but they vote on something bigger.  A biblical world-view,’ says Sharmila Meadows.

For many British Christians, Donald Trump feels a curious political choice, but he continues to capture the vote of the American Church. That support is rooted in a Christian population who passionately searches scripture before casting their votes and there’s much we can learn from their approach.

I analyse international politics with caution. These politicians aren’t elected to serve me after all and I also believe that woven through any national story or zeitgeist are features only its own people fully understand. Neither am I there at grassroots; although I know several Americans, I do not share their lived experiences or hinterland.
