Council on Social Responsibilty
The Council on Social Responsibilty aims to understand and analyse a range of social, political, economic and constiturional issues. It attempts to consider these issues with theological insight and to provide realistic and practical recommendations for action.
The Council operates through Southern and Northern Executives but there are areas of work which both continue to be involved in addressing together.
