As Christians we are called to link our faith with all aspects of our lives and to engage with contemporary issues which affect our society in general. We want to encourage Baptists to hear the call of the gospel to work for freedom, peace and justice.

The Faith and Society Team, alongside the Joint Public Issues Team and others, engages in theological reflection and research to provide information and study resources on a variety of social and political issues as well as topics for prayer.

Many of our resources, and others, can be found in our Resource Library.

Our current key resources are:
