At our church we have used material from Micah Challenge to highlight issues of poverty in services from time to time. Today I received an email newsletter from Micah Challenge which (among other things) gave some information about a unique opportunity for Australia Christians to hear both the Prime Minister John Howard and the Leader of the Opposition and prospective Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, address Christians in the lead up to the federal election to be held later this year.
Both men will speak live, via webcast, to churches around the country. Details can be found here. I'm looking forward to hearing what they have to say and hope that they will speak to issues of justice, community building and reconciliation, and not just the usual swag of 'personal morality' issues.
