Dear Cross and Culture Reader,

You have the opportunity to make a real difference for religious freedom in Australia today by signing The Australian Creed for Sexual Integrity.

Released last month, this creed was drafted by some of Australia’s most prominent Christian leaders. I was blessed to play a key role in the process. In just over 200 words, the Australian Creed lays out the Bible’s clear teachings on sexuality in truth and grace.

Sign the Australian Creed

Our hope is that the creed will be used as:

  • a doctrinal affirmation in worship services
  • an educational tool for Christians
  • a theological defence against compromise
  • a way for churches and schools to affirm their orthodoxy
  • a legal defence for Christians facing job loss

This last point is especially important. Israel Folau, Andrew Thorburn, Dr Jereth Kok and many other Aussie Christians have lost their jobs for holding to the Bible’s teachings on sex. They were in a weak legal position because so many Christians have compromised on this issue — and there was no creed to point to defending biblical sexuality.

Now there is. And you can make a big impact by signing it today.

Sign the Australian Creed

If you are in a ministry role — whether at a church, a Christian school, or a religious non-profit — I encourage you to state your role and institution when you sign. We are looking for Christian leaders to become Initial Signatories. Your public endorsement will embolden many more people to sign the creed.

We also invite you to add the logo to your website to make your biblical stance clear.

Please share this email with others. Our ultimate goal is for The Australian Creed for Sexual Integrity to go global and be signed by millions.

Thank you for your support!

    Dear Mr Mahlburg

    Thank you for your work. I’m culturally Christian and agree with almost everything you write. For me your creed is just a little too long and heavy on supernatural elements but I understand these are very important in the evangelical sphere. I hope it will garner much interest but I womder if it might do better if it were shorter.

    I understand that you plan to proselytise in Asia. I wish you would reconsider and focus on the very many lost sheep among your own countrymen who have nothing to believe in but circuses and a fading materialist phantasm.

    Yours truly, David Isaac

      Dear David, thank you for your comment. It’s great to hear you find my writings helpful. Regarding the creed, we certainly wrestled with the issue of brevity. It was a tension between this and being comprehensive enough to fully address the issues. I think we struck the balance well but point taken – an even shorter creed would be even more shareable, etc. So far we have had a lot of interest from beyond the evangelical sphere too, which is positive.

      I have some spent some time ministering in Asia and continue to support friends who do. God has a heart for Asians just as much as Westerners. In fact, He is building his church there in amazing ways right now, and in the decades to come it will no doubt be Asians who take the gospel back into the West. As for me, I do feel very called to the West and agree with you that there are many lost sheep here. The work continues!

      Kind regards, Kurt.

        Dear Mr Mahlburg,

        Thank you for your reply. I am glad to hear that people are responding to your message.

        Of course all of humanity is the concern of the almighty. The difficulty is that at present Western people are under sustained attack from their own media, corporate and political leaders and frankly from many churches. If that attack succeeds in eradicating us as a distinct people, conscious of our true history, or at least the many varied versions of that history, then the freedom which we cherish will vanish from the Earth along with us. I think you probably understand this. I certainly hope you do. Should the Occident not have its own house in order before evangelising the Orient? Will evangelising the Orient help save the West?

        Yours truly, David Isaac
