Public Theology

Public Theology seeks to engage with the social, political and spiritual issues of the day, bringing a coherent Christian perspective to bear upon public policy and cultural discourse. In seeking to present Christ credibly and champion evangelical truth, unity and diversity, it will represent the views of our members and the wider Christian constituency to the Government, the National Assemblies, the media and key decision-makers.

In formulating a biblical and theologically coherent perspective on many of the complex social, spiritual and moral questions facing contemporary society, Public Theology will make evangelical truths publicly accessible; it will provide resources for churches and Christian leaders to effectively engage in the moral and political debate, enabling them to challenge aspects of secular thinking and bring a Christian perspective and prophetic witness to the public square.

Advocacy, advice and apologetics are central to Christian engagement in the public square. Through grace and truth, humility and service, Public Theology will make a unique contribution to uniting evangelicals for spiritual and social transformation.
