It has been revealed a high-profile prospective Conservative MP in the British elections founded a church that tried to cure gay people by driving out their "demons" through prayer.

Sutton and Cheam candidate Philippa Stroud is credited with shaping many of her party's social policies. The Guardian says she has heavily influenced leader David Cameron's beliefs on subjects such as the family and is seen as one of the party's rising stars.

It has now emerged that in 1989, Stroud founded a church and night shelter in Bedford, the King's Arms Project, that helped drug addicts and alcoholics. It also counselled gay, lesbian and transsexual people.

So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.
