Unbelievable? 18 Apr 2009 - “I am a Christian” - Are Christians being marginalised?
Summary: <br> <p>Premier is inviting Christians to sign the "I am a Christian" declaration at <a href="http://www.iamachristian.org.uk/">www.iamachristian.org.uk</a> and stand up for their Christian faith. It's in response to the fact that over 100,000 have downloaded the National Secular Society's "Debaptism" certificate, renouncing childhood baptismal vows.</p><br> <p>There have been a number of stories that suggest Christians are being restricted form being open about their Christian faith in the public arena, and now the National Secular Society is urging that hospital chaplains should not be funded by the NHS.</p><br> <p>Premier's CEO Peter Kerridge explains why he believes the campaign will encourage Christian to be bold in their faith.
