Ann Widdecombe has called on Christians to put pressure on the UK government to take action against persecution of Christians overseas – and to stop it developing here. Speaking at an event held last week in south London, the former government minister and media personality warned that today's ‘small scale persecution’ of UK Christians could dramatically worsen unless people began to ‘fight back’. Her message calling on Christians to ‘be extremely vigilant’ was delivered at an event organised by Aid to the Church in Need, the Catholic charity for persecuted and other suffering Christians. The former MP, who was speaking on the 20th anniversary of her conversion to Catholicism, said: ‘It's very easy to look at extreme cases abroad, to say thank God we don't have that here and then to overlook what we do have here, which is an increasing intolerance and marginalisation towards, and of, Christians.’

Pray: that Christians everywhere will be vigilant and seek God’s wisdom. (Pr.4:6)
