Archbishop John Wilson calls for us to speak the truth that life is sacred
Following votes from MPs to support assisted suicide and decriminalise abortion, Archbishop John Wilson has called for us to look to the Lord Jesus for hope.
In a statement issued following a vote in the House of Commons on Friday 20 June to support assisted suicide, Archbishop John said:
“This is a terrifyingly dark week in British history, as MPs vote for legislation which endangers the lives of unborn children, and promote legislation which will endanger vulnerable adults and the elderly. All those who stand on the side on the side of life, and who uphold the dignity of human life from conception to natural death, need to raise their voice in defence of those who are voiceless. Irrespective of religious belief this is a matter of basic justice for every human life.
“As followers of the Lord Jesus, we are a people of life. Jesus is our hope and in his name we will tirelessly make the case for the defence of human life. Life is sacred. It is a gift from God and we must never be afraid to speak this truth.
“I urge you to continue to pray and campaign in defence of human life.”
Please continue to support Right to Life’s campaign to oppose this dangerous legislation.
