The veteran British Labour Party politician Tony Benn once said his politics were influenced by his mother’s religious teachings. She taught him that the stories in the Bible conveyed the struggle between the prophets and the kings and that he ought to support the former over the latter. Though the kings had power, she said, the prophets taught righteousness. While this philosophy may seem out of place in Canada’s secular political discourse, it invokes a relevant tradition of truth-telling and social justice that is shared across many religious faiths.-Simon Black
