A better story
We want to see a public square where the right of all people to speak, write and express themselves freely is upheld. We scrutinise government plans to ensure they do not intrude on civil liberties, and encourage politicians to appreciate the role of faith within society.
Together, we can champion freedom of speech and expression for all, including the freedom to share our Christian beliefs, and encourage respectful dialogue on every issue in life.
