My biggest non-biblical hero is William Wilberforce, who pretty much embodies the political side of that tradition, I'd say that it goes back as far as the days of Celtic Christianity. God Bless, Stephen Thanks Chris,

I think that the church does itself a dis-service by failing to get involved in society politically. Or at least individual christians. Here in the UK we have a rich tradition of non-conformist politics emanating from the churches, both in disobedience and obedience. Go back to The Peasant's Revolt and the English Civil War and you find a rich tapestry of radical faith, sometimes orthodox, sometimes heretical! Well done for nailing your colours to the mast!
