Forum For Change

 


About Forum for Change



British culture is an explosive mix of possibilities...

This is evident from the significant level of spirituality, a thirst for justice and a willingness to explore the unknown.  But this cultural journey is also typified by negative trends in a society in need of change.  This is principally expressed in the disintegration of family units, a lack of community cohesion and anti-social behaviour.  All of which have huge implications for our children.

In response to this, the Forum is a network of Christian ministries combining the expertise of research and campaign groups, individuals and churches acting as a catalyst for spiritual and social change in society.

  • It serves an agenda for transformation by harmonising the aspirations and skills of its participants.
  • It operates within a Christian ethos working for a transformed world.
  • It believes that transformation begins with a personal relationship with God, but it is also committed to positive change in society.

Forum for Change is an alltogether initiative.

alltogether we contribute, alltogether we are more effective, alltogether we see change
