The new government has renewed its promises to protect persecuted Christians abroad, following a landmark pledge to adopt a new definition of anti-Christian discrimination and persecution.
Last year the former Foreign Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, commissioned Philip Mounstephen, Bishop of Truro, to examine the extent and nature of Christian persecution as well as assessing the UK government’s response.
Speaking last week during a foreign affairs debate in the House of Lords, Baroness Goldie, Minister of State at the Ministry of Defence, when referring to Mounstephen’s recommendations said: ‘The government intend to implement the recommendations in full.’
