Christians on the Left

Christians on the Left (CotL), formerly the Christian Socialist Movement, is a society affiliated to the Labour Party. It has a long history of involvement in British politics, dating back to the beginning of 1960. Donald Soper, a Methodist minister and influential Labour member, acted as the first chairman and later became President of the organisation in 1975.

The movement fulfilled a need among Christian political activists on the left in Britain for an organisation that would be politically engaged yet theologically reflective. It affiliated with the Labour Party formally in 1988.

Christians on the Left has over 40 members in the House of Common and is directed by Louise Davies.
