When I choose to tackle some Christians who I think are doing it wrong when it comes to speaking out as Christians in the public sphere people often ask me good questions. They usually start with “did you think about X?” My answer is usually “I was responding to a particular issue, but I have posted about X before.” Other people say nice things about how it would be useful to have all my posts on this issue collected somewhere (thanks mum).
So here’s my attempt to do that. A mega list, though probably not an exhaustive list, of my posts about PR, social issues, and political lobbying.
When things go wrong:
- Danny Naliah – Australia’s Westboro Baptist
- Billboards and the ACL – the Australian Christian Lobby complain about a condom ad
- A plea for the Australian Christian Lobby to get on message
- An open letter to the ACL: Please don’t use tragedy for political gain
- An open letter about School Chaplaincy
- Family Last: Why I’m not voting Family First despite being a Christian
- Ten (or more) thoughts on “Pray Away the Gay”
- Praying away the gays: some responses to my last post
