One other point I should have made is that all the questions actually put to the panel, including the first one, came from members of the audience or via our website. Bishop Christopher however did edit the first one before actually putting it, with a view to making it less potentially divisive. Rather than asking candidates directly whether they believed in the Christian God, he put the stress on the question of how their beliefs and actions informed their policies and political actions; he gave them the opportunity of talking about their Christian beliefs, but only if they wished to do so.
