Events

Aid to the Church in Need is seeking to ‘Break the Silence’ on the persecution and suffering of Christians around the world on 23rd November, when it will be holding #RedWednesday.

In countries where they face discrimination, Christians sometimes feel that their pleas for help go unheard in the West. #RedWednesday is our chance, through Aid to the Church in Need, for Christians to be seen and heard.

The charity has helpfully released a poster that outlines events in London and a Zoom gathering for people in Scotland (other opportunities are listed online) and ways in which you can help, including

• increasing awareness of what persecuted Christians face
• praying for persecuted Christians
• engaging in a fundraising event, such as a bake sale, or making a financial gift.
• Use the hashtag #RedWednesday if you are supporting them with posts on social media

Please join Aid to the Church once again this year by wearing and using red – the colour of martyrdom – and by signing the #RedWednesday Petition calling for justice for Christians in Nigeria who are facing violent attacks.
