The majority of church-goers in the UK feel that Christians are being increasingly marginalised in public life, a new survey has revealed. Conducted by ComRes on behalf of Premier Christian Media, 81 per cent of church-goers think the marginalisation of Christians is happening more and more in the media and press. While 77 per cent thought it was growing in the public realm, two thirds said they believed it was increasing in the workplace and more than half said it was on the rise in Government. Peter Kerridge, Chief Executive of Premier Christian Media, said: ‘2011 presents a great opportunity for Christians to speak out and tackle the creeping marginalisation occurring in British society’. He added, ‘When three out of four Christians have reported an increased risk of discrimination in the UK over the last five years, the message is clear. As a country we need to do more to support Christians living out their faith’.
Pray: that as Christians we would speak out boldly about our faith led by the Holy Spirit. (Ac.4:29)
