In Depth:  Andrea Minichiello Williams

What can we say but praise God!! It was by his glory and grace that months of prayer and petition were answered! The government’s version of the Racial and Religious Hatred Bill was defeated, despite the government’s majority of 67 MPs and the immense pressure exerted by the government to get people to vote for the Bill.

It is only the second time in nine years that Labour has lost a vote in the Commons. It was a vote which even the opposition MPs said could not be won. It is a vote which Christians knew, faithfully trusting in God’s sovereignty, could always be won.
