Nola Leach, CARE's CEO speaks out on Premier Christian Communication's recent survey that revealed that 9 out of 10 ordinary Christians feel marginalised.

Nola Leach, Chief Executive of Care - a Christian group which lobbies politicians - agreed that there are "worrying signs" Christian viewpoints are being side-lined.

She said: "Partly because of illiteracy [and] partly because of those who have a very different agenda, we may be moving into a period when debate is shutdown - where you can't have an honest debate and agree to differ."

The stark results also show nearly half of respondents say they have personally experienced prejudice as a result of their faith.

More than a quarter said they feel unable to be open about their beliefs in the work place.

The full results can be found at www.ordinarychristian.co.uk. On the website you can register your support and also download practical resources to help strengthen and encourage you, including a free eBook and prayers sent straight to your mobile phone.
