Summary

Brad Chilcott challenges the assumption that Christians are social and political conservatives.

To many people, “Christian conservative” sounds like a tautology – and “Christian progressive” like an oxymoron.

Brad Chilcott is the founder of the “Welcome to Australia” movement and the pastor of Activate Church in Adelaide. Here he talks about why Christians have a reputation for being socially and politically conservative, and why he thinks that the progressive side of politics can actually be a natural place for people of faith to be.
