This week (20 January 2013) the thinktank Demos ("ideas and action to promote the common good") has published its report Faithful Providers, which argues that faith-based organisations should be used more as public service providers. Covered in the Independent yesterday..
To view and download Demos' Faithful Providers (January 2013) go to: http://www.demos.co.uk/publications/faithfulproviders The report has come out of a project ('Exploring the role of faith in politics and society') guided by an Advisory Committee made up of faith leaders across the major religions, politicians, academics and some community figures, chaired by Stephen Timms MP.
A critical response from Simon Barrow of Ekklesia is found at
All well worth a read and thinking/ talking about
