Christian Social Responsibility
Christian Social Responsibility (CSR, Kristet Samhällsansvar) was a lobby organization that was founded in the mid-1950s in Sweden. The goal of the organisation was to get Christian politicians placed high up on the voting papers of the Swedish political parties. The CSR had a grassroots network of active members over the entire nation and produced their own material.
The chairman of the organisation was Centre Party voter Sven Danell. Lewi Pethrus, one of the founders of the Christian Democratic Party was the vice chairman. Birger Ekstedt, later to become the chairman of the Christian Democratic Party, was the secretary of the organisation.
