People of faith have been on the streets of London over the weekend, as an act of prophecy against the greatest attack on the vulnerable in society for the last 50 years, says David Haslam. Those from many different belief backgrounds, including Christians, joined the 'March for the Alternative' - for good spiritual and theological reasons.
A central London branch of Barclay's Bank was closed early after Christians concerned about economic injustice planned to hold an act of worship there.
It was right to be here at the March for the Alternative (http://marchforthealternative.org.uk/) today, but this was not the moment when the tide turned. There were too many subtexts; too fragmented an agenda for that.
The TUC-sponsored 'March for the Alternative' to cuts and austerity is taking place in London on Saturday 26 March, from Victoria Embankment to a rally in Hyde Park.
