The number of people describing themselves as Christians has dropped 10% in England and Wales over the last five years. In 2005, 77% of the population said they were Christian, but according to the Citizenship Survey published this week, that figure fell to 70% in 2010. The government-commissioned survey looked at the views of more than 10,300 adults. In the same period, the number of people saying they have no religion rose by 6%, from 15% in 2005 to 21% in 2010. Christians were also far less likely to practise their religion than those of other faiths. Those most likely to practise their religion were Muslims. Despite the fall in people affiliating themselves with Christianity, those who do are more committed, with an increase in the number of Christians saying they go to church regularly, from 31 per cent in 2005 to 33 per cent in 2010.

Pray: for the Holy Spirit to move among the people revealing the light that brings life. (1Jn.1:1-7)
