As the week draws to a close, this verse reminds us that love is more than a feeling or a belief, it’s something we live out. 🧵

We gathered for The Tawney Dialogue to ask, Child Poverty: where do we go now? The conversation was challenging, hopeful, and deeply rooted in a shared commitment to justice. Here are a few moments that stayed with us. 👉 Swipe through to read some powerful quotes from the evening.

🙏 A prayer for public life today: God of justice and mercy, guide those who serve in government and public life. Grant them wisdom when decisions are difficult, courage when the right path is costly, and compassion for those whose voices are too often unheard. 🧵

Matthew 28:6 - "He is not here; he has risen, just as he said!" Easter is not an ending, but a beginning. How will the commitments shaped in Lent carry into the year ahead? And from all of us at Christians on the Left, Happy Easter!

Last week’s Tawney Dialogue on child poverty reminded us that this is not just a political issue but also a moral one.

At the end of the week, many of us are carrying a lot, work pressures, worries about the world, concern for others. This verse offers a simple but powerful reminder: we are not meant to carry it all alone. 🧵

Peace rarely arrives by accident. It is something we are called to seek and sometimes even to pursue with courage and determination. 🧵

Justice is rarely quick. Faithfulness often means staying present when change feels slow. This week, we give thanks for those who keep showing up.

Join us for The Tawney Dialogue 2026, where we’ll ask, Child Poverty: Where do we go now? The Tawney Dialogue is our flagship annual event, bringing together politicians, theologians & activists to discuss issues in the spirit of RH Tawney. 🎟 Book your ticket: TheTawneyDialogue2026.eventbrite.co.uk

The work of justice is holy work. But it can also be tiring work. There is always more to do — more emails, more organising, more news to respond to, more ways the world needs healing. And yet Jesus says something simple and gentle to his friends: come away and rest. 🧵

✝️ “Faith communities are an essential ally in the fight against inequality and conservatism.” Our Chair, Anna Dixon MP's piece in the Fabian Review, explores how progressive Christianity can help shape a politics of dignity and solidarity. Click to read more → fabians.org.uk/28168-2/

At the end of a long week, justice can sometimes feel slow. Stuck. Hard work with little progress. But the prophet Amos offers a different picture. Not a trickle. Not a one-off moment. But a river. 🧵

Our NW regional rep Mark, other members from Christians on the Left and friends across Labour movement were out as part of the Socialist Society campaign day in Gorton and Denton recently. Please pray for the election today and all those standing.

Lent is a season of turning away from what harms, and towards what heals. Where are you being called to turn towards justice this Lent?

For us, faith isn’t separate from public life. It’s the reason we care about poverty, dignity, housing, healthcare, and justice. Being a Christian shapes how we see the world — and how we work to change it. 💬 What issue is on your heart right now?

Faith is not only what we believe, it’s what we practise. Through the prophet Isaiah, God doesn’t ask for grand gestures or perfect words. Instead, the call is simple and direct: learn to do good. Seek justice. Protect the vulnerable. 🧵

Ash Wednesday reminds us of our fragility and our responsibility to one another. In a world that prizes power, Lent calls us back to humility, truth and care for the common good.

This Lent, Christians on the Left will be reflecting together on faith that shapes how we live, act & hope. Join us as we walk this season together. As Lent begins, we pause to let go, not to deprive ourselves, but to make room for love, justice & compassion. What are you being invited to lay down?

Merry Christmas! 🎄 From all of us at Christians on the Left 😊

In the birth of Christ, hope entered the world quietly among the poor, the overlooked, and the weary. That same hope still calls to us today. As we look to the future, we carry a faith that does not turn away from the world’s brokenness, but steps into it with love.

We’re grateful for everyone who makes up our Christians on the Left family. Members, volunteers, donors, MPs, and friends who believe faith has a vital voice in politics. Thank you for walking with us in faith and solidarity.

Every year we hold a Tawney Dialogue to talk about politics in a wider context. This year we marked 20 years since Make Poverty History, with David Smith MP, Paul Cook from ONE Campaign & Christine Allen from @cafod.bsky.social Stay tuned to find out about the Tawney Dialogue 2026!

As one year comes to a close and another begins, we remember that God’s care does not end at the turning of the calendar. In our coming and our going, in moments of action and of rest, God remains with us.

This year, Christians on the Left celebrated 65 years as an organisation. For 65 years, we have brought believers together to live that calling out in politics. If you long to see faith shaping a fairer, kinder society, this is your invitation. ✝️ Join us today: tinyurl.com/5738dx84

This year at #LabourConference25 we were pleased to partner with CAFOD, Oxfam, LabourCID & Islamic Relief UK on the role of faith in international development. It was a positive and hopeful panel and together we made the case for keeping international development at the heart of foreign policy.

We loved hosting our church service at #LabourConference25, in partnership with our friends Open Doors UK & Ireland and St. James in the City It was great to show how faith can inspire politics that is compassionate, just, and hopeful. 🌱

This year we stood shoulder to shoulder with partners fighting for freedom and justice worldwide. It was fantastic to work in solidarity with so many incredible organisations. Thank you for everything you do!

Horrendous to emerge from the peace of church this morning to news of the Bondi Beach attack. Praying for all those involved & for all our Jewish brothers and sisters marking Chanukah, light in a dark world.

In 2025, we spoke out for families and children, because faith demands justice. We are particularly thankful for the recent budget result, building on our prayers and calls to the Government.
