Our current focus is on corporate responsibility and to this end is a member of the CORE coalition.
Cambridge Speak works with other groups in Cambridge to campaign on issues such as the above. We are also part of Christians in Unity in Cambridge (CUC).

Hopefully this will be kept up to date but the best way to keep in touch with what's happening is to get your name on the email list. Email the address at the bottom of this page if you want yours adding.
Nothing planned yet but look out for us at the freshers' fair.

Suggested holiday reading is "New Issues Facing Christians Today" by John Stott. Looks at lots of different issues from a Christian perspective, including whether Christian should be involved at all, war, the environment, human rights, work and unemployment, poverty and wealth, and various sexual issues. A big, chunky book, but most chapters can be read independently.

Globalization and the world economy
An interesting recent Cambridge Paper from the Jubilee Centre.

As you can see from the pictures at the top of this page, the Big Dress has been launched! A big thank you to everyone how has taken part in this!
But this is only this beginning; now it's time for the Big Dress to go on tour. Look out for a Big Dress near you! It'll be at some of the festivals this summer. There are also plans afoot to bring it to Cambridge, so if you think you could help in any way, for example, something you want to put on inside the dress, then please get in touch.
You may have read in the press about a group of animal rights campaigners with the same name Speak. We are in no way connected or affiliated to this group.
A few times a year, SPEAK produces Pray and Post cards. These generally explain a bit about an aspect of a campaign, with points for prayer, and a tear-off section that you can send to Tony Blair / a minister / your MP. If you think this sounds like a great idea then get in touch with us and we'll make sure you receive one (or more on request) when they come out.
Losing your email address? If you'd like us to keep in touch with us or the network then send us an email (see below) and we can make sure you continue to receive the information you want, whether it be Cambridge emails, network emails, or pray and post cards.
