The Jubilee Centre was founded in 1983 by Dr Michael Schluter. It believes the Bible describes a coherent vision for society that has enduring relevance for Britain and the world in the twenty-first century. At the heart of this social vision is a concern for right relationships. The relevance of this relational agenda (sometimes known as
Relationism ) for modern society is evident from the wide range of topics that the Jubilee Centre has explored over the years, including criminal justice, care for the elderly, asylum and immigration, and sexual ethics. Among its publications are the ground-breaking 'Jubilee Manifesto'cite web
