Sir Fred Catherwood recently represented Evangelicals at a forum in Kazakhstan to discuss religious liberty (see news item on p. 7). Here is the text of Sir Fred's speech, which passionately argues for tolerance.
I want to talk about the contribution which the Kazakhstan Protestant churches can make to this country.
I am myself a Protestant. I am President of the British Evangelical Alliance, set up 150 years ago to bring together all the Protestant churches in Britain. And I am here now to represent the European Evangelical Alliance, which represents Protestant churches across Europe. Not only is half of Europe Protestant, but much more than half of the United States and Canada are also in the Protestant tradition.
