History

[edit]

The Christian Socialist Movement was founded in 1960 when the Society of Socialist Clergy and Ministers and the Socialist Christian League merged.R. H. Tawney made one of his last public appearances at the movement's inaugural meeting on 22 January 1960.Donald Soper chaired the movement until becoming its President in 1975. In 1998, it affiliated to theLabour Party. It was a volunteer organisation until 1994 when it appointed a co-ordinator, followed by an administrator. In August 2013, it announced that, following a consultation with its members, it would be changing its name to Christians on the Left.^[3]
