Welcome to the Christian Peoples Alliance (Northampton) Web site!

For several years, there has been an informal CPA presence in
Northampton; Timothy Webb, Andrew Otchie, and especially Colin
Bricher have been politically active here, not just standing as
candidates in the Parliamentary and County Council elections, but
also working quietly behind the scenes in an attempt to improve
life for people in Northampton.

On 30th September 2005 we set up a branch here in Northampton, to
allow us to raise our profile and provide us with more opportunities
to promote Bible-based policies in our town. We want to see justice,
respect for life, reconciliation, active compassion, wise
stewardship, and empowerment rise to the fore in local politics.
To do this, we need God's support, and yours too.

Politics has gained the reputation of being about spin, conflict,
and hard-heartedness ("realpolitik", as it
is misleadingly labelled). But it should be about serving
people. The very word "minister" means "servant",
but all too often our politicians forget that. The Christian
Peoples Alliance wants to see truth, justice, and compassion
restored to public life. It's time our politicians started to
serve its people - you, me, the chap next door, the old lady at
number 62 - instead of ruling us with arrogance and disdain.
