Christians from across the Midlands descended on Coventry Cathedral last Saturday for a special event to alert Christians to the increasing secularisation of Britain, and discrimination against those who stand up for orthodox beliefs in public life.
The ‘Awake Arise’ event on January 28 was the first to be held in an English Cathedral and was led by former Bishop of Rochester, the Rt Revd Michael Nazir-Ali, and Christian Concern founder and CEO, General Synod member Andrea Minichiello Williams.
Both spoke on the moral and social decline of our nation, with particular reference to abortion and religious freedom, and how Christians and the Church can stand for truth on these issues.
Former Mayor of London candidate, and leader of the Christian Peoples Alliance, Alan Craig, encouraged Christians to act on a local level by standing as Christians as councillors at parish, ward and constituency elections.
The event closed with former drug dealer and criminal – turned evangelist, Rob Joy, speaking about the impact of the gospel on his own life, and how Christians must never be ashamed of the gospel as it is the “only true hope for our nation”.
