In Australian public life, there’s a range of Christian voices — Danny Nalliah, George Pell, plus a constant trickle of centre-right politicians trying to put in a good word. The problem is, few of these voices resonate with me as a Christian.
It’s good news that the Centre for Public Christianity provides a thoughtful, credible and articulate Christian voice. It’s headed up by two of Australia’s best Christian thinkers, Greg Clarke and John Dickson. Case in point: their roundup on Joe Hockey’s recent comments about the Bible.
Check out their videos and articles and, if you like what you see, why not e-mail ABC’s Q&A to suggest Greg Clarke and John Dickson as panellists — both to represent Australian Christians and to provide a coherent Christian perspective on Australian public issues.

A lot of people want to speak for the Church. See my comment on Reuben’s blog earlier this year re Australian Christian Churches: http://www.reubenland.com/2009/winning-or-losing-a-city-pt-6-fancy-statistics/comment-page-1/#comment-1230
From what I’ve read and seen of John Dickson I think he’s one of the best spokespeople we could have, but he still might not represent the whole Church on the kinds of issues that come up for public comment.
Hi Eric
Yeah, the CPX guys hardly speak for all Christianity. My point is that they are a Christian voice — and one that I can trust.
