At CSM's community event

I'm at CSM's community event in Leeds where we're about to hear from David Lammy on the links Christian Socialism has formed between church people active in their local communities and mainstream politics. It's a theme Ed Miliband will take up in just over a week when he speaks at CSM's 50th anniversary reception.

Labour needs to draw on its Christian Socialist roots; something those behind Blue Labour are acknowledging.  But we need to do so in a way that's fit for the 21st Century.  That's the challenge.
