Welcome to CSM Renewal 2007

Welcome to CSM Renewal 2007. This blog is for members of the Christian Socialist Movement who are interested in renewing and changing CSM. In Proverbs it says: "Where there is no vision the people perish" (Prov 29:18). We fear that CSM is perishing from lack of vision, and we need to renew CSM: - Prayerfully restore CSM’s values and objects to the heart of everything it does; - Actively be the prophetic conscience of the Labour Party and a prophetic voice to the churches; - Boldly take a stand against the religious right and campaign to make poverty, social justice and the environment mainstream Christian issues; - Sustainably ensure CSM’s financial security without accepting sponsorship from organisations that compromise our values; - Immediately make CSM fit for purpose and the organisation more democratic, accountable and Christian. Find out more about our new vision for CSM below, and if you like it sign up to CSM Renewal 2007.

Sustainably ensure CSM’s financial security without accepting sponsorship from organisations that compromise our values

· Change sponsorship policy to accept support only from those organisations which are in line with our values and objects.
· Refuse support from companies such as Nestle
· Invite high profile members to form a fundraising committee.
· Executive committee to contact ex-members personally to inform them of CSM’s change of direction and focus and ask them to rejoin.

Personal donations matched to particular values, objects, strategies and plans. What do our members want to support?

Is the last comment suggesting that CSM consult on its values and objects according to the size of the donation given, Oh Lord Levy!?
