Christian lobbyist website

Independent Australian Catholic lobbyist, the Australian Political Ministry Network (PolMin), runs this website.

The Australian Political Ministry Network Ltd (PolMin) is a national membership organisation committed to bringing about systemic change in Australian society through the influencing of public policy for the common good in accordance with the principles of Catholic social teaching.

Recently during a meeting with a group of bishops from Brazil, Pope John Paul II said that the Church can contribute to political discourse in the way it applies its social doctrine to public questions, and that Church's most appropriate contribution is its body of Social Teaching, which is designed 'to facilitate the formation of the Christian conscience and the implementation of justice in human coexistence'.

Some other great stuff we've recently come across:

Recently we've come across some 'different' websites:

  • The Leviathan says it is 'putting the "fun" back into fundamentalism' and has lots of helpful guides. Did you know that by mid-July the chorus Shine Jesus Shine had been sung 16936 times?
  • The wibsite. In their own words: 'Laughing may just be the greatest spiritual resource available to us, occupying as it does the wetlands between despair and insanity. In our laughing we give voice to the entire tragedy and joy of human survival in the warzone of life. Perhaps it is laughter which is the image of God within us.'
  • Larknews is somewhat like a Christian version of The Onion. A recent article asks 'Was St Paul a midget?' See http://larknews.com/january_2003/
  • For puppeteers. The Human Wireframe lets you play puppeteer with a virtual man. Using specific points of manipulation, you can move the wrists, ankles, knees, shoulders, or pelvis, and watch how the body reacts. Have some fun with this thing.

Seriously good sites we have recently browsed:
