"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?

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
