Christians for Labor is a network of Christians from all denominations and traditions. We want to see a strong Labor Party that has a vibrant Christian voice within it, and actively and effectively seeks the Christian vote.
We aim to foster the conversation between Christians and Labor, to help Christians engage effectively with the ALP, and help the Party listen and speak well with Christians.
Our plan includes:
- Facilitating Christians meeting with each other, talking lovingly about policy and public issues, and praying together.
- Hosting meetings between Christians and ALP leaders.
- Resourcing Christians to engage with the ALP effectively and advocate for the issues that are important to them.
- Supporting Christians who are members of the ALP to be faithful and effective, and developing the next generation of Christian leaders within the Party.
- Helping like-minded Christians connect and organise on common issues.
Our Values
We uphold the Nicene Creed, the historic statement of the Christian faith common to all major denominations and traditions.
We seek to work in a way that is:
- Loving
- Welcoming
- Non-judgmental
- Non-denominational
- Policy agnostic
- Non factional
