"Let me tell you

why you are here.

You're here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavours of this earth.

If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness?

Matthew 5.13,14

The Message version

 

Here are six advantages of ACT membership

ACT one   is connections with the media, communicating the Christian perspective on education and related issues.   ACT’s Strategic Director, Clive Ireson issues press releases, is interviewed by the media, and engages in debate on radio and television, proclaiming the Christian perspective on educational issues.

ACT two   is our regular email update service, ACTuality, delivered free most weekends during term time.  This contains a digest of education news from the week, and items of special interest to Christians working in education.  Being electronic, and delivered to your email in box, it’s easily disposed of, whilst back copies are always available on the website.

ACT three   is our members’ magazine, ACT Now, with in-depth articles and news for the thinking Christian.  Now supplemented by a broadsheet style Members’ Newsletter, members are kept informed.

ACT four   is the ACT Prayer Diary, stimulating your prayers for education and the world beyond.  This is a daily call to prayer, predominantly around the issues which Christians in education find themselves tackling, together with a scripture verse for each week.  The paper prayer diary is also available on the website.

ACT five   is a listening organisation, and members.  Being a Christian in the workplace can be a lonely path, and when members find conflicts in their professional lives they are welcome to contact us on 0845 370 2212 – with twenty-four hour confidential message service.

ACT six   is each autumn when ACT members meet together on ACT Day for spiritual fellowship and dialogue.  We meet in different venues each year, with a variety of speakers on a variety of topics.  It’s also ACT’s AGM.

Talk back  ACT Directors are always pleased to hear members’ points of view on these and other issues.  Email talkback@actforhim.org.uk or ring the ACT office 01604  632046.
