The organisation behind the failed bid to take Alfie Evans to Italy says its aim is to introduce a "Christian voice" into law, the media and government.
Christian Concern has strong views on issues including abortion, adoption, marriage and end of life.
On its website it says: "We want to work to infuse a biblical worldview into every aspect of society.
"We want to be a strong Christian voice in the public sphere.
"We seek to highlight injustice, change public opinion on issues of key importance and affect policy bat the highest levels."

The pro-life organisation has also supplied Alfie's family with a barrister and states: "Every human being is created in the image of God, and is therefore sacred and to be respected as valued and loved by God."
It adds: "Abortion, embryonic research, euthanasia, and assisted suicide are just some of the current ways in which human life min God's image is being devalued in society.
"We campaign for human life, particularly at its most vulnerable, to be protected in law from the point of conception until the point of natural death."

Because of their values, the organisation has stood by Alfie's parents' side to fight for their son.
He has an undiagnosed brain condition and doctors say it is kinder to let him die - but his parents disagree and want to take him to Rome for more treatment, and his dad Tom has even met with the Pope.
Earlier today it released a statement claiming an air ambulance is "on hand" to take Alfie to Rome where doctors are ready to care for him.
Yesterday the Italian government granted Italian citizenship to Alfie.
Andrea Williams, chief executive of Christian Concern, said this afternoon: “Alfie continues to fight for his life in an extraordinary way, as do his parents and our lawyers.

“We welcome the intervention of the Italian government and are grateful that they stand ready to take Alfie to Italy.
“A common sense approach must now be for Mr Justice Hayden to discharge all the court orders which detain Alfie and seek to end his life in Alder Hey, and give him the chance to be treated and looked after in Italy.”
She added: “It cannot be in Alfie’s best interests to be left in Alder Hey where the court order is to let him die.
“Alfie’s best interests would be served by allowing him to travel to Italy.
“We urge the court to allow Alfie to travel to Italy today.”

On its website, Ms Williams explained why Alfie's case is so important.
She said: "Alfie matters because he is a human being, made in God's image and with inherent dignity.
"The idea that some lives matter more than others, and that this can be decided by judges and other authorities, is abhorrent.
"Alfie is human. Just like you, your friends and your family members.
"In his particularly fragile condition, it is absolutely right that his parents, and many others, are deeply committed to protecting him.
"This is a deeply Christian impulse - to care for the most vulnerable."
Andrea Williams co-founded the organisation in 2008. She is currently CEO of Christian Concern and also the founder and operating director of Christian Legal Centre.
