Theresa May praises church during visit

Eleven days before the 2017 General Election, she joined Sunday worship and a question and answer session with the senior pastor of Jesus House, Agu Irukwu.

A note posted afterwards on Mrs May's Twitter page read: "Fantastic to meet members of the congregation @jesushouseuk, one of the most lively growing churches in the UK."

Theresa May herself grew up in a vicarage, as the daughter of Church of England vicar Rev Hubert Brasier. She also professes a personal Christian faith of her own.

Writing on Twitter, Jesus House said: "It was a pleasure having @theresa_may @Number10gov worship with us at #SundaysAtJH look out for the special Q & A with Pastor @agu_irukwu".

The church in Brent Cross is a parish of the international Redeemed Christian Church of God movement which emerged in Nigeria during the 1950s.

Theresa May's appearance at Jesus House came ahead of her joining Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn in facing a TV audience on Monday night.

Their first big live event since the election was called, the pair will also face questions on the Sky News and Channel 4 programme from journalist Jeremy Paxman.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
