Andrew Marsh, CCFON, and Gary McFarlane interviewed on ‘Not Ashamed’ Hope FM, 21 Sep 10 (15m 32s) Open Doors, a charity which helps persecuted Christians worldwide, is organising a petition against the introduction of the Defamation of Religions Resolution at the United Nations. This is a vital piece of action for Religious Freedom with global impact. CCFON supports Open Doors in this petition. The resolution would allow governments the power to determine which religious views can and can’t be expressed in their country, as well as giving the state the right to punish those who express ‘unacceptable’ religious views. Further information can be found here, and the full Open Doors briefing paper can be found here. The video ‘Right to Believe’ can be found here. You can sign the petition here.
