Answer: What is Australian Student Christian Movement mean?

The Australian Student Christian Movement (ASCM) is a Christian group with an ecumenical focus working with university students.

ASCM fosters liberal and progressive religious and social views and has been associated with the social gospel, Christian socialist and environmentalist movements and is generally part of the Christian left.

The ASCM sees itself as:

Open … encouraging spiritual growth through understanding and tolerance of others’ viewpoints.Ecumenical … welcoming and affirming members from all denominations and valuing the rich diversity of Christian traditions and those of other faiths, while seeking unity in prayer and action.Active … seeking God’s desire for peace, justice and liberation from oppression throughout the Bible and life of Jesus, and responding to God’s call for conversion of self and transformation of society.Critical … taking the learning of students seriously and looking to theology, the sciences and the humanities to provide new perspectives on faith and a deeper understanding of truth and life.

Described as a 'university within a university,' the ASCM was formed in 1896 and is one of the oldest student groups in existence in Australia. Originally named the Australian Student Christian Union, the name changed gradually during the period between the wars to reflect the idea of movement rather than organisation. The title ASCM was formally adopted in the early 1930s. The ASCM was involved in the formation of the National Union of Students, the Overseas Service Bureau and the Uniting Church in Australia.
