The Jubilee Centre is a Christian social reform think tank based in the United Kingdom which conducts research into the contemporary relevance of the biblical vision for society.
== About the Jubilee Centre ==
The Jubilee Centre was founded in 1983 by Dr Michael Schluter CBE to explore the continued relevance for modern societies of the biblical social vision. Characterised by its concern for right relationships - and applied to areas as diverse as debt and the economy, criminal justice, care for the elderly, asylum and immigration, the environment, and sexual ethics - this relational agenda (sometimes known as Relationism) led to the publication in 2005 of the charity's comprehensive 'Jubilee Manifesto: a framework, agenda and strategy for Christian social reform' (see ''Books by the Jubilee Centre'', below). It also produces the quarterly ''Cambridge Papers'', an influential collection of peer-reviewed studies on contemporary issues.
Inspired by the example of Christian reformers such as William Wilberforce, the Jubilee Centre's work led to the launch in 1985 of the now independent Keep Sunday Special campaign, which was instrumental in bringing about Mrs Thatcher's first and only defeat in the Commons. Its work later gave rise to a number of other organisations involved in social reform, including Credit Action, the Relationships Foundation and the international peace-building charity Concordis International. Most recently, it launched the informal Fair Sex Movement, which seeks to promote a greater awareness of the personal, social and economic consequences of sexual relationships. A number of groups are now drawing upon the experience and expertise of the Jubilee Centre to establish similar organisations internationally in countries as diverse as Singapore, Kenya, and the USA.
The Jubilee Centre is a British registered charity (No. 288783),〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Extract from the Central Register of Charities: Jubilee Centre )〕 financed by private donations.
