CSM traces its origins back to 1848, though the movement has grown and developed since then through the contribution of people with a clear commitment to social justice born of their Christian faith. FD Maurice, Ellen Wilkinson, George Lansbury, RH Tawney and Donald Soper may be among the better known Christian Socialists but it’s the endeavours of numerous Christians from all walks of life which have made the movement what it is today.
CSM members voted in a postal ballot to change the Movement's statement of values during November 2006. Approximately 80% of ballots recieved were in favour. The ballot followed the decision of the 2006 AGM to endorse the change. That decision came after an extensive consultation period.
CSM will build on this significant change over the next few months. Email us here to request news of CSM policy developments.
