What is Crucible?
Crucible makes a tremendous contribution to the Church's
social responsibility work, pulling together some of the best
practitioners and thinkers in the field. In my view, a subscription
is a vital tool for all who have a concern for the Church's
work.

Crucible is the Christian journal of social ethics. It
is produced quarterly, pulling together some of the best
practitioners, thinkers, and theologians in the field. Each issue
reflects theologically on a key theme of political, social,
cultural, or environmental significance.
Crucible was formerly the house journal of the C of E's Mission
