Via my friend Bene Diction comes this link to eight fundamental social values suggested by Evangelical Alliance of Australia:
- Grace – a subversive value! Giving people more than they deserve.
- Hope – not a guarantee of immunity from harm but a conviction that God is always present
- Faith - the means to real depth in relationships of all kinds
- Love – means to love the unlovely
- Justice – for all (not ‘just-me’). A concept biased in favour of the disadvantaged.
- Joy – impossible to legislate for this but an essential social value
- Service – meaning is found in service rather than self-centredness
- Peace– not just the absence of fighting but positive well-being
The whole article is well-worth a read.
