The other thing which strikes me is how insulting it is to Christians of other countries who face genuine persecution, if we try to claim that we too are under attack.<br />Shame on anyone who would even hint at such a comparison.Benny Hazlehursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106740133903626260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-146780325302102876.post-1605752629947538282010-12-12T20:32:39.058+00:002010-12-12T20:32:39.058+00:00The name of the campaign 'Not Ashamed' is ...The name of the campaign 'Not Ashamed' is a problem for me as I think it suggests Christians are actually ashamed of faith in Christ but are trying not to be. The slogan makes most sense if you understand the Biblical context from which those words come. Most people won't.

This puts in a nutshell so much that is wrong about contemporary evangelical Christianity. We should be shouting your words from the rooftops!Iainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685228974985888660noreply@blogger.com
