In the lead up to the 2023 NSW Election, churches in most electorates across NSW are hosting “meet the candidate” forums. Freedom for Faith is helping to coordinate these events, and is keeping a list of the events at https://freedomforfaith.org.au/nsw/
Our Association is a partner organisation of Freedom for Faith. This is a great opportunity to build stronger connections with our politicians, and make our voice heard. With 50 events planned, most churches will have an event for their electorate, or an electorate nearby. All the events will be live streamed for those who cannot get there in person, or want to watch it at a later date.
The purpose of the events is to give local Christians an opportunity to hear directly from their major candidates, and to ask them questions. They will also demonstrate to our politicians that local Christians are engaged with policy, and give them an understanding of our concerns. The events will have some set questions put to candidates, and will also be accepting questions from the floor.
You can find all the information about your local event at https://freedomforfaith.org.au/nsw/
Freedom for Faith can also provide you with resources to promote the event. For those resources, or for any questions, you can contact Mike Southon at mike@freedomforfaith.org.au
