CARE enters fifth decade

Some of the UK’s current government politicians

Why does CARE engage with politicians and bring a Biblical perspective to laws and legislation?

There is one reason among many that stands out to me. As the mission agency to UK politics, we believe that Biblical principles for human flourishing are good for all in society. Respecting the building blocks of society that God has created is the first step towards a fairer and more just society. And if we don’t bring these values into the corridors of power, how will politicians ever hear them?

The need for this as we enter 2023 has never been greater. Confusion around human identity lies at the root of so many of the social challenges we are facing. Because our society has believed the lie that we are simply evolved apes, it has also bought into the idea of the fact/value split.
