Attitudes towards issues such as gay marriage, abortion and poverty can all be shaped by faith, so how do politicians find harmony between their personal religious beliefs and their political ones?

Faizal Farook spoke with Christians on the Left treasurer Canon Steven Saxby, DUP’s Ian Paisley Jnr MP, Labour’s Angela Eagle MP & Tulip Siddiq MP, Conservative Nigel Evans MP and Theos’ Nick Spencer to ask whether faith and politics can be reconciled.

Catch up with this episode on 30th July 2017 on BBC iPlayer here.
