I understand the strength of feeling on this issue. A global study by the Pew Forum in 2014 found that restrictions on religion were at a six-year high.
I can confirm that I attended the event by Open Doors on freedom of religion and persecutions of Christians. Many residents urged me to attend this event and I am happy to support the work of Open Doors UK & Ireland. Open Doors was founded by Brother Andrew whose books about bible smuggling in Europe and the Middle East I particularly admire.
I believe we should support Christians all over the world who are facing increasing levels of persecution.
