A new report from Fusion, based on a survey across 186 universities, found that 12% of non-Christian students engage with the Bible weekly - often through social media. Among Christian students, the number rises to 29%. Half of all students believe the Bible is relevant today; this drops to 32% among non-Christians and 27% among those with no religion. While only 19% of non-religious students believe the Bible is reliable, many still want to explore its teachings. Some find parts of it offensive or contradictory, yet remain intrigued by what it has to say about life and truth in a confusing world. Fusion’s Adam Mitchell-Baker says this interest reveals a deep hunger in students, even amid cultural opposition. In an age of unstable role models, Jesus and the enduring truth of Scripture offer hope and clarity. Fusion’s vision is to put a Bible in the hands of every student in the UK.

The leaders of seven well-known Christian festivals and events are encouraging people to support them this year. They say, ‘We are asking for you to stand with us; we need your help more than ever. Some of us have postponed events, some have moved to free digital alternatives, or chargeable digital and hybrid events. We have all had to decide what is best for us in our unique situation now; we all need the wisdom of the Lord. Please pray regularly for us as we lead our organisations, listen to His leading, and do all we can to serve Him and you. Please join 2021 events and buy tickets. If you wait until 2022, your preferred event may not have the finances to be there.’
