Hi, we are desperately looking for a Christian literary agency in the UK to submit our book idea to...does anyone have any ideas?

I can't think of a valid reason the beliefs of your agent enter into the mix. I would think that ideally you'd want an agent who is able to sell your book to Christian publishers who can place it in bookstores, including Christian outlets. The agent who is able to do that might not be Christian. What I'd do, if I were you, is visit bookstores large and small, noting the titles, authors, and publishers of the Christian books for sale. Check the dedication or acknowledgements pages, since agents may be thanked by name. At home again, I'd get online. At their websites, I'd determine whether the Christian publishers accept manuscripts only from agents or whether I might deal with them directly. If I do need an agent, I'd use a good search engine and seek the word "agent" in combination with each Christian author's name. Best of luck.

Why on earth would you care? If you have a book that must go to a religious publisher, fine -- the agent doesn't have to be a Christian to submit books there.
