New figures from the Office for National Statistics has found that most British people still consider themselves to be Christian. The number of homosexuals, meanwhile, is far lower than previously estimated. According to the office, 71 percent of the population is Christian. The statistic was welcomed by the Evangelical Alliance. ‘Christians have increasingly felt bewildered about what they can and cannot say or do,’ Stephen Cave, advocacy director at the Alliance, commented: ‘Of course faith is personal to each individual but that doesn’t mean to say it’s entirely private – far from it. In fact we welcome dialogue with people of all beliefs, including atheists. Where possible we should engage in conversation not confrontation’. The figures will be good news to those who believe Christianity should still have a prominent role in public life and indicate that affiliation to the faith remains strong in spite of declining church attendance.

Pray: for Christians to re-establish our faith as the heart of public life and society.(Pr.1:20)
