Who we are
CSM is a movement of Christians with a radical commitment to social justice, to protecting the environment and to fostering peace and reconciliation.
We believe that ‘loving our neighbour’ in the fullest sense involves struggling for a fair and just society, one in which all can enjoy the ‘fullness of life’ Jesus came to announce. And we want to work to make it happen.
CSM offers space for Christians to come together to help shape the political agenda. Affiliated to the Labour Party and with members in the Commons, the Lords, on local councils and in trade unions and constituency Labour parties, CSM makes sure the Christian voice is heard in politics. Through lobbying, publications, public meetings, local branch activities, media work and other ways we are an effective voice for social justice.
The dna of a CSM member is a Christian who is engaged in political life from a left-sided perspective. They believe that God's kingdom is extended by people working on the inside of politics as well as shouting from the outside. Their primary passions are seeing justice done and their default mode is to "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves". They have a sense that the global economic order needs re-wiring.
Does this sound a bit like you?
If so, perhaps you should be joining with the many who are becoming new members. We want to be a family and support for the adventure of rolling up your sleeves and getting involved. Don't sign up if you're looking for another safe option, or to just be better informed, even though you will be. CSM members have become MPs, MEPs, Peers, school governors and local councillors. Who knows where your first click could lead?
