Christian Action Research and Education (CARE) is a Christian advocacy group based in the United Kingdom. ==Founding and programmes== CARE began in 1971 as the Nationwide Festival of Light, but was renamed in 1983 to reflect a substantial shift in emphasis. Over the following decades it established the following departments, in the belief that Christians should show active care as well as campaigning for moral standards in society:〔(Our Story ), CARE. Retrieved 15 December 2011.〕 *Care for the Family, now independent of CARE as the UK arm of Focus on the Family〔 〕 *Care Confidential, which runs pregnancy counselling centres, and became independent in July 2011〔 〕 *Caring Services (defunct) *Care for Education (defunct) *Fostering, long term and remand care (defunct) *Evaluate, CARE's sex and relationships education programme CARE also runs the "Leadership Programme", an internship programme securing placements for graduates. Some work as researchers for MPs, mostly in the Conservative party, and MSPs while others work in Christian NGOs.〔 The funding of political research assistants by a "right-wing Christian" lobby group has attracted controversy, although CARE claims that there is a clear separation between the internships and its lobbying side.〔〔 〕 Unlike journalists, researchers have virtually unrestricted access to parliamentary documents and in 2008 Paul Burstow MP was questioned after failing to include a research assistant's CARE sponsorship on the main register -though he said he didn't believe they had behaved improperly. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christian Action Research and Education」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
