The Christians Party ((ノルウェー語:Partiet De Kristne), PDK)〔 is a conservative Christian〔("De Kristne" ). ''Store norske leksikon''. 30.04.2014.〕〔("De Kristne størst av minipartiene" ). ''VG''. 10.09.2013.〕 political party in Norway founded in 2011. The party leader is Erik Selle. ==History== Founded as The Christians, the party was formed when the Christian Democratic Party abolished its requirement that its representatives profess the Christian faith. The party saw this as a major step in the "de-Christianization" of the party, along with a perceived wider de-Christianization of Norway during the years of the Red–Green government.〔("Vil rekristne landet" ). ''Haugesunds Avis''. 30.03.2011.〕 The party participated in its first election for the 2011 local elections limited to the municipal council in Bømlo. They won 6.5% of the votes there, earning them two seats. Bømlo was selected to test support for the new party, with defected local Christian Democratic politicians heading their list. Some saw the party's founding meeting on Moster in Bømlo as symbolic, as it was the original starting point of the Christianization of Norway by King Olaf Tryggvason a thousand years ago.〔〔("Kan få nytt kristent parti i dag" ). ''Dagen''. 24.02.2011.〕 For the 2013 parliamentary election the party gained additional support from philosopher Nina Karin Monsen,〔("Fritt Ord-vinner stemmer De Kristne" ). ''Dagen''. 03.09.2013.〕 veteran Christian Democratic politician Anita Apelthun Sæle,〔("KrF-veteran stemmer De Kristne" ). ''Dagen''. 09.09.2013.〕 and Visjon Norge televangelist Jan Hanvold.〔("Oppfordrer til bønn og faste for De Kristne" ). ''Dagen''. 28.08.2013.〕 It received 0.6% of the national vote (17,731 votes), winning no seats but becoming second largest of the extra-parliamentary parties. Before the 2015 local elections the Christians drew numerous local politicians from the Christian Democrats as well as the Progress Party, and the party had a large number of new local chapters established.〔("- Det er fortsatt noen kristne igjen her i landet" ). ''Nettavisen''. 28.01.15.〕 The party managed to secure lists for the elections in 70 municipalities, as well as all the counties of Norway. Among the speakers at the party's national congress in May was the Israeli Greek Orthodox priest Gabriel Naddaf.〔("Gir aldri opp partiets sjel" ). ''Dagen''. 08.05.2015.〕 The party won three municipal representatives in the election, one each in Bømlo, Vennesla and Karmøy.〔("Start-smell for De Kristne" ).
