Making the vision plain
The Christian Socialist Movement has to make its vision plain. But it also has to develop realistic strategies to achieve sustainability and better work out its values in politics, or it will perish. Hence the vision and the strategies need not just to be developed, but written down and followed: “made plain on tablets so that whoever reads it may run with it.”
CSM is in an excellent position to do this. It has a strong set of values and objects that its members have pledged to work in prayer and political action to achieve. CSM’s values are attractive not just to its members but potentially to many in the churches and in the Labour Party.

We choose one value, one object, one strategy. Unwinding poverty in our own nation is where we start. Unequal ownership and control of every basic need of humanity is clear. But there is more to life than the nation state as simply an enterprise. Our truest wealth is made of what we share of what we know.
Has CSM stopped the values debate? Will it continue?
Thanks for writing this.
