Have you ever pondered whether it might be okay to lie? Have you ever wondered whether Christians should think differently about friendship and Facebook? Have you ever wrestled over what to say to a friend thinking about contraception or IVF?
The Centre for Christian Living (CCL) aims to help Christians understand how the teaching of the Bible informs and shapes our moral response to these sorts of questions—and the myriad of other questions we face day by day.
As an initiative of Moore Theological College, CCL endeavours to do this primarily by making the theological wisdom of Moore College faculty accessible to the Christian community through our events, our podcast and the resources available on our website.
