Here's a sample of the Big Society spirit, albeit in America:

Below: WE CAN ALL MAKE A DIFFERENCE - 13 year old Abby Miller from Sterling Va. has raised over $500,000 for research into finding a cure for neoblastoma, a childhood cancer; inspired by the five year old Abby befriended, Taylor Love, who has this disease. May we keep them both in our prayers.  Amen.

"And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you , ask what you can do for your country.  .............. let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth, God's work must truly be our own" (Part of the inaugural speech by John F. Kennedy , 20th January 1961).

 “Follow our conscience and ask not what we are entitled to, but what we can do for others”....David Cameron

                        The Big Society

“The Big Society is about helping people to come together to improve their own lives. It’s about putting more power in people’s hands – a massive transfer of power from Whitehall to local communities.” – Cabinet Office definition of Big Society

Christians do not need a definitive answer to the question “what does Big Society mean?” or to be convinced that it is important to help improve the communities we inhabit. What we need to know is how we can help. The purpose of this part of the CCF website is to tell the stories of those who do social good. This will hopefully provide ideas and inspiration to help you and your community to create a better society.

The first step for anyone in embracing the Big Society agenda is to buy into its values. For many Christians this is easy to embrace, as those who follow Jesus have been preaching the importance of giving for centuries and many churches are experienced in promoting social justice. The New Testament tells us that the kind of society God is interested in is one where people have a keen understanding of others’ needs. The poverty of one person is an issue for everyone. Our 'neighbour' is not just the person in our circle, it is anyone we come into contact with, even if at first glance they seem to be very different from us. People must recognise how they depend on each other and realise what we owe each other.

David Cameron publicly acknowledges that our religious institutions have been making positive contributions to British society for centuries.  To use “Big Society” language; Christian churches are large networks of interconnected hubs, who deliver services to the communities they live in. Or to use everyday language; the Christian religion is made up of many active communities, consisting of people who are doing good things in their communities.

Feeling like age is creeping up on you? 

Read quotes about ageing from Fred Smith, lifelong friend of Billy Graham: "By not staying involved in life, you are subconsciously giving yourself permission to die. You can't let up and keep up. By focusing on the 'can do's' instead of the 'used to do's', you not only follow the example of Christ, you also create a blueprint for the next generation."
