Agencies which support persecuted Christians round the world are responding to the UK government’s recent Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) conference.
This brought together over 800 government representatives, parliamentarians, faith and civil society representatives from 100 different countries; at the conference national governments represented were invited to co-sign one or more of a set of eight written statements covering freedom of religion or belief issues.
Keynote speaker Fiona Bruce MP said: ‘Some 360 million Christians around the world suffer persecution for their faith. Somewhere in the world every two hours a Christian is killed for their faith.’
