Public benefits

The direct benefits which flow from purpose 1 include ... i) An understanding of the Bible: its content and personal application, resulting tangibly in: a) Love for others, joy, peace and contentment b) Conscientious citizenship; family commitment; improved literacy, work ethics and productivity c) Improved health through moderation in all

things ii) A practical knowledge and appreciation of the church's central place in world, European and British history a) Printing and distribution of literature. b) Conducting teaching seminars by invitation of any individual or group, at any suitable venue. We have and will continue to teach the history and doctrines of the Reformation to any individual or group who make such a request. As we are and will likely remain a small organisation, we would allocate our resources judiciously. These benefits are demonstrated through... 1. Testimony and feedback from beneficiaries 2. Attendance at meetings 3. Requests for literature 4. Adherence to our Bible reading scheme This charity's purposes are entirely beneficent and of no objective harm. Any member of the public may benefit, and though operating in the UK and EU member countries, this charity's beneficiaries are to be those from 'every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.' Through their involvement in this charity, the trustees are likely to increase in their own knowledge of the Bible, ecclesiastical and secular history. Their appreciation of the relevance and application of the Protestant doctrines will be augmented. Though it is a private benefit, yet it is incidental and works to the charity's further benefit by enhancing the ability of the trustees to achieve the charity’s purposes.
