Public Engagement

The Social Issues Team deals with 'citizenship' issues in the realms of medical ethics, education, the media, work, law, politics, marriage and parenting, disability, gender and much more.

This strong team, which includes nationally-acknowledged experts in their field, passes on its advice and comment to churches via The Bulletin (formerly the Citizenship Bulletin). It also makes submissions to consultations initiated by government and other authorities.
