MPs, Christians and others have no idea that
OUR SOCIETY DEPENDS ON CHRISTIAN FAITH AND THE CHURCH
SUMMARY
Christian faith is the foundation of much of every level of our society: its history, laws, institutions, culture, values, economy and community support.
Our city depends on Christian welfare services beyond the capacity of government to provide. The churches in Melbourne provide vital community support, compassion and generosity and are centres of relationships and caring for their local communities. Christian overseas aid is far in excess of any other movement
44% of secondary and 34% of all primary students in Victoria attend Catholic or independent schools and these percentages are rising - generally because parents see these schools give priority to Christian values or the style of education provided by them. (State schools could not take all this over).
The highly intentional atheist and secular humanist movements are seeking to influence governments to remove the freedom of the Church and Christian agencies to provide their community support, and Christian education programmes and Chaplaincy in schools which foster Christian values in society. The result would be a major loss for society and especially the poor.
This will succeed is only if the government and society remain ignorant of the truth of vital contribution of the Christian community and the powerful faith on which it is built.
