(We'll skip over the illogicality that if university is an end in itself, why can't secondary education be an end in itself? Not everyone's gifts take them down the university route.)...]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 10:29:57 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[More religion and politics]]></title><link>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/blog/432/more_religion_and_politics</link><description><![CDATA[Having been criticised for failing to offer any answers for the country's economic problems, Church leaders have in recent days come to the fore. On Monday a group of bishops tabled an amendment in the House of Lords that called for child benefit to be excluded from the proposed £26,000 cap on benefits, provoking strong reactions from those within and outside the Church. ...]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jan 2012 10:51:49 GMT</pubDate><category domain="/jubilee/blogs.php?topicID=8">Government &amp; Foreign Affairs</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[New director and team members for Jubilee Centre]]></title><link>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/news/230/new_director_and_team_members_for_jubilee_centre</link><description><![CDATA[A message from Sarah Snyder, chair of the trustees:I am deeply encouraged to announce news of our growing staff team at the Jubilee Centre, despite difficult financial times.Jonathan Tame joins us as Acting Director, having spent the last two years working closely with Michael Schluter at Relationships Global developing international courses and training in Relational Thinking - a subject very close to Jubilee Centre&#039;s heart!...]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:02:19 GMT</pubDate><category domain="/jubilee/blogs.php?topicID=230">News 2012</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Free sex: Who pays?]]></title><link>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/resources/free_sex_who_pays</link><description><![CDATA[Rather than addressing fundamental moral issues around sexual freedom, this paper starts with our culture&#8217;s premise by taking a utilitarian approach and exploring the financial impacts.

This is in line with the common assumption that what truly matters for public policy can be quantified. It argues that significant costs of sexual freedom are imposed on society as a whole, rather than borne solely by the individuals most directly involved. This represents an enormous moral hazard and, as a result, unsustainable and unjust public expenditure. The paper then explores ways to address this, the most compelling of which is the Bible&#8217;s emphasis on rootedness and group responsibility....]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category domain="/jubilee/blogs.php?topicID=1">Sex &amp; Families</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Christian Response to Immigration]]></title><link>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/resources/a_christian_response_to_immigration</link><description><![CDATA[Immigration is a live and perennial issue, and often prompts polarised and unhelpful responses from politicians, the media and the public.

The context of this remark was partly the summer riots, but also the expenses scandal; the banking collapse, inequality and the bonus culture; and even the threat of Islamic terrorism....]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 19 Dec 2011 14:03:35 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[The media’s false prophets]]></title><link>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/blog/429/the_medias_false_prophets</link><description><![CDATA[The link between the Old Testament prophets and our modern media might not seem immediately obvious. The distance between the two grows larger still with the revelations of the Leveson inquiry, which take more shocking forms every day. Last week Tony Blair&#039;s former Director of Communications and Strategy, Alastair Campbell, described elements of the press as &#039;frankly putrid&#039;, stating that they relied on private investigators and fabrication for the sensational stories that sell newspapers....]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 05 Dec 2011 11:53:41 GMT</pubDate><category domain="/jubilee/blogs.php?topicID=4">Worldviews &amp; Culture</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Affordable housing]]></title><link>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/blog/428/affordable_housing</link><description><![CDATA[The government has unveiled plans to address the lack of affordable homes and increase the number of first-time buyers. A £400 million fund will be used to restart stalled building schemes, and buyers will be able to borrow 95 percent of the new home's value, with the government underwriting part of the risk. 'Right to buy' will be made available once again, with the money from sales of social housing going back into the building industry to create more affordable homes....]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 21 Nov 2011 12:29:25 GMT</pubDate><category domain="/jubilee/blogs.php?topicID=3">Finance &amp; the Economy</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[A New Way to Engage]]></title><link>http://www.jubilee-centre.org/news/228/a_new_way_to_engage</link><description><![CDATA[Launched on 1st October at two conferences simultaneously &#8211; one in Milton Keynes and one in Sheffield &#8211; our much-anticipated Jubilee Lifestyle discipleship course is now available for use in churches and small groups.If God is going to transform society in accordance with his ways, both history and scripture indicate that he will do so principally through his people.
