John Morris, Candidate for the Peace Party in the 2019 General Election in Guildford, notes that the recently-distributed newsletter of his local church includes the Vicar’s template for the politician he would look for.  This person would be:

• Someone who is honest, trustworthy and true
• Someone who is humble and who is willing to admit when mistakes have been made, when things could have been done better
• Someone who values people from all backgrounds equally
• Someone who has the courage to stand up against injustice and argue the case for the poorest in society
• Someone who is a peacemaker, a reconciler who can bring people together
• Someone prepared for a high degree of self-sacrifice without reward
• Someone who does not court publicity and fame
• Someone who listens before they speak
• Someone who stands with and represents all those on the edge of society
• Someone who cares for the whole of creation, who can think long-term, who recognises our responsibility for future generations
• Someone who has a bold vision for a better future and who has the patience to carry it through.

How did they think he matched up at Cranleigh School?
