David Cameron Says Britain Must Stand Up Against Global Christian Persecution, Urges Increased Evangilism, by Anugrah Kumar, at The Christian Post




"British Prime Minister David Cameron has said Christianity is now the most persecuted religion around the world, and that Britain should be "unashamed" in standing up against persecution of Christians and other religious groups.

"'I hope we can do more to raise the profile of the persecution of Christians around the world," Cameron said in an opening speech at his Easter reception at Downing Street. "It is the case today that our religion is now the most persecuted religion around the world. I think Britain can play a leading role in this."

'Cameron said Britain had met its obligations in terms of the aid it gives to countries around the world. "We're seen as a country which is engaged internationally."

'Foreign Secretary William Hague and Foreign Office Minister Baroness Sayeeda Warsi agreed with the prime minister on the need to raise a voice against religious persecution, Cameron said.

"'We should stand up against persecution of Christians and other religious groups wherever and whenever we can, and should be unashamed in doing so," he said."
