The Christian Evidence Society (CES) is an ecumenical group, established over 130 years ago, to help answer many of the questions asked about the Christian faith. It does this in three principal ways:
By publishing evidence about some of the key issues regarding Christianity. This includes leaflets, booklets and articles which explain what Christians believe and why their faith is central in their lives. Click here to view what is available.
- By supporting initiatives which promote the Christian faith. Over recent years, these have included funding for Christian radio programmes and projects for schools and young adults. Click here for a brief history of the CES and details of recent initiatives.
- By being a source of reference for groups and organisations that provide more detailed information about Christianity. Click here for more information or follow the links above.
