Jesus commands us to be people of radical love: to love our neighbours and our enemies as ourselves.

Sadly, the Far Right is increasingly using Christianity in their mission to limit who we love, twisting Jesus’ message to encourage fear and hatred of ‘the other’.

We are a movement of Christians seeking to resist this distortion of our faith by re-centring Christ’s compassion, humility, and self-sacrificial generosity in the public conversation about Christianity.

JOIN US to help tell the full, beautiful, and Better Story of Jesus’ love for all humanity.

Educate

To stay true to the teachings of Jesus in the face of the far-right, Christians need to lean on the wisdom of theologians and thinkers past and present.

Better Story hosts talks from experts and shares theological content through our members’ newsletter.

Communicate

To combat the co-option of our faith, Christians need to tell better stories about what it means to faithfully follow Jesus in this polarised political climate.

Better Story communicates through articles, social media, and speaking engagements. We also host communication workshops to empower our members to become great storytellers.

Campaign

We believe strongly in the power of prophetic action. One of the duties of God’s people is to call out religious and secular leaders when they pursue power and status over humility and service. When they reflect Caesar, not Christ.

We organise prophetic actions to critique the use of Christianity to advance far-right policies, and to critique far-right policies themselves.

Community

We need community. A community to learn with. A community to campaign with. A community to pray with in the face of darkness.

Better Story builds this community by inviting members to talks and campaigns, and through monthly prayer meetings.

What do we do?

Our Values

Love over hate

The global church over the national church

Truth over lies

We believe Christians are called to love - to love God, love our neighbour, and love our enemy

We reject the conflation of Christianity with any singular national identity, believing that the church is a global church where all are welcome

We recognise the damage that misinformation has done to the church and believe in the importance of truth

Refugees Welcome! Leica R7 (1994), Summi

Reconciliation over division

We believe that the ministry of Jesus is a ministry of reconciliation, both between God and us, and between us and one another

Solidarity with others over protecting ourselves

We welcome the foreigner, standing in solidarity with refugees and immigrants
