Christianity has a long history of social and political engagement. The past decade
has seen churches and individual Christians engage in public debates over issues
as broad as global poverty and the climate, and as intimate as human reproduction
and marriage. What were the views of attenders on the validity of advocacy and public
comment by churches and Christians in the 2011 National Church Life Survey? In late
2011, a sample of Catholic, Anglican and Protestant attenders was asked: In your
opinion, should Christians/churches be involved in public policy issues in the following
ways? 1) Advocacy or lobbying of governments 2) Public comment.
