Christian Concern for our Nation is leading a major new campaign to help Christians in UK stand up and speak up for Jesus Christ in public life.
Wednesday 1st December 2010 has been designated ‘Not Ashamed’ day. In readiness, Christians are being asked to ‘wear the symbol, declare the hope and share the vision’.
It is hoped that on ‘Not Ashamed’ day, thousands of Christians will wear the ‘Not Ashamed’ symbol of the cross, available on a range of items from a special online shop whilst a ‘Declaration of Christian Hope for our Nation’ will be delivered to leading figures in public life.
Linked to the campaign, Lord Carey, former Archbishop of Canterbury, is writing a special leaflet explaining why Christians are ‘Not Ashamed’ of Jesus Christ and presenting Him as the hope for our nation.
Further details are available at the ‘Not Ashamed’ website: www.notashamed.org.uk.
In launching the campaign, Andrea Minichiello Williams, Director of Christian Concern, said “Our society has undergone massive change in recent years and continues to face enormous challenges. At times the Church seems to have lost confidence that Jesus Christ is good news not just for individuals but also for our society as a whole. Now is the time for Christians to stand together and to speak clearly of Him to a nation that desperately needs to hear of Him, declaring Him to be the only true hope. The ‘Not Ashamed’ campaign is intended to help the Church to do that. We hope and pray that it will find great support amongst the Christian community and make a great impact for good on our country. We invite Christians everywhere to join us.”
