Welcome to the website of the Social Issues Executive (SIE). We are a 'think tank' in the Anglican Diocese of Sydney. We consider what Christian theology may have to say about social issues and matters of public policy. This article gives some idea of where we're coming from.

The SIE includes Rev. Dr Andrew Cameron (chairman); Mr Darren Mitchell; Rev. Dr Andrew Ford; Dr Karin Sowada; Dr Megan Best and Deaconess Margaret Rodgers.

This site is an archive of our writing from the past few years.

The majority of pieces are from our series of occasional briefings. You can access future briefings through the orange RSS link below right. Or, you can receive them by email: just follow the instructions at our old but effective mailing list site.   

We've been quiet during 2010, but we hope to keep adding material and producing new briefings soon.
