Why FOCaL?
FOCaL is set up to give a forum for those who hold to a progressive Christian faith and 'left of centre' political convictions. While not wishing to deny conservative Christians or conservative politicians their right to express their point of view, we feel that our society and the church needs to hear the voices of the Christian left.
Goals
- To provide a website space for articles expressing Christian left thought
- To have people who are prepared to respond in the media to articles where right wing thought is expressed.
- To give interviews directly to the media when opinion is sought
- To provide educational material encouraging a balanced view of Christian politics, including social justice, social policy and the environment
- To create a Christian left 'think-tank' capable of assessing government policies and providing submissions in all areas, including race and international relations, economics, health, education, social policy, law and human rights
- To have a regular e-newsletter, meetings and events
- Network with and promote the work of other organisations with views and policies that are compatable with FOCaL and contribute to the life and well being of New Zealand and the planet.
