ICBC Election 2026 Resource
The Interchurch Bioethics Council has prepared seven information sheets on issues that are likely to come up this 2026 election. The intention is to help people in our pews think ethically about the issues as they consider who to vote for in November.
The information sheets

About ICBC
The Interchurch Bioethics Council (formerly the Interchurch Commission on Genetic Engineering) was set up in 2000 by the Presbyterian, Anglican and Methodist churches. Several Presbyterians are members of the Council, which considers biotechnology from a spiritual, ethical and cultural point of view. See more on the PCANZ website here.
