Despite all the hype about the Prime Minister\u2019s reshuffle, it is unlikely to offer any real\u00a0 change to the anti-Christian policies and social totalitarianism pursued by the present Government, Christian Voice has claimed.<\/p>\n

This is the first time the ministerial posts have changed since the Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties formed a coalition government in May 2010. (A list of all the news posts can be seen on Parliament\u2019s website<\/a> <\/strong>or at the Downing Street website<\/a><\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

As Equalities Minister, Lynne Featherstone has been belligerent in promoting the pro-homosexual agenda. With Featherstone at the DfID, expect foreign aid to be increasingly used as a lever to pressure poorer countries to pass gay rights measures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Christian Voice is glad that pro-abortion Andrew Mitchell<\/a><\/strong> lost his job at the Department of International Development (DfID). In November 2010 he proposed to \u201chard-wire\u201d abortion and contraceptive services into overseas development programmes<\/a><\/strong>. In December 2010 this came to fruition as he announced plans to spend an extra \u00a32.1 billion on programmes including abortion and contraception<\/a><\/strong>, drawing a rebuke from the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Thanks to Andrew Mitchell, the Governments\u2019 abortion policy is now an integral part of their foreign aid packages<\/a><\/strong>. Mr Mitchell now takes up a job as Chief Whip, which one hopes will provide less scope for mischief.<\/p>\n

The loss of Andrew Mitchell from the DfID is a mixed blessing, however, since the Department will receive Lynne Featherstone<\/strong><\/a>, formerly Equalities Minister. In her former post, Lynne Featherstone was belligerent in promoting the pro-homosexual agenda and stomping out common law freedoms<\/strong><\/a>. With Featherstone at the DfID, expect foreign aid to be increasingly used as a lever to pressure poorer countries to pass gay rights measures.<\/p>\n

Ms. Featherstone will be working under Justine Greening<\/strong><\/a>, the new Secretary of State of DFID and formerly Economic Secretary to the Treasury.\u00a0 Ms Greening is skeptical on homosexual issues and although she has voted pro-abortion as much as Mr Mitchell, we pray that she will not be quite as passionate about spreading the culture of death worldwide.<\/p>\n

Theresa May<\/strong><\/a> stays at the Home Office and is expected still to support the ‘gay marriage’ agenda, even though her department has lost the Equalities portfolio.<\/p>\n

Helen Grant MP<\/a><\/strong>, Anne Widdecombe’s successor in Maidstone,\u00a0is the new Minister for Women and Equalities, replacing Lynne Featherstone<\/strong><\/a>, but reporting now to Maria Miller<\/strong><\/a>, the new Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport.\u00a0 Maria Miller immediately said she would support ”gay marriage’ and has asked for ‘dialogue’ with pro-sodomy groups<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Her appointment is a set-back.<\/p>\n

High flyer. Christian MP the Rt Hon David Jones, pictured here with the Prime Minsiter, Rt Hon David Cameron, has been promoted to Secrtary of State of Wales<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The highest-profile fall in the reshuffle has been that of homosexual MP Nick Herbert, who stepped down from his role as minister for the police. Although tipped for promotion, he tweeted: \u2018Decided to step down from Govt. Honoured to have worked with police & driven big reforms. Will focus on new ideas & protecting countryside.\u2019<\/p>\n

Another bit of good news is that David Jones<\/strong><\/a> (Clwyd West) is the new Secretary of State for Wales. He is fairly pro-life, anti-gay rights and anti-blasphemy.<\/p>\n

Altogether, it seems unlikely that we should expect any improvement in the anti-family, pro-homosexual policies pursued by the present government, but we can but follow the Biblical injunction to pray for them.<\/p>\n

READ<\/strong>: 1Tim 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.<\/p>\n

PRAY<\/strong>: That the Government will realise they are under the authority of God, that they need to start doing good and stop doing evil.<\/p>\n
