#RedWednesday - 25th November 2020
Only two days to go to get ready for #RedWednesday
Over the last five years Aid to the Church in Need have been encouraging us to join them in the #RedWednesday campaign. It is a campaign designed to draw attention to the human rights tragedy of Christian and other religious persecution. Now a global initiative, endorsed by the UK government, it is time to make #RedWednesday a campaign with teeth that can really change lives.
- advocates for the well-being,
rights and freedom of persecuted Christians
- calls for fair treatment of all
faith groups and of those of no faith
- educates people on why
religious freedom is so important
- encourages bridge-building
between faith groups
There are lots of ideas for what you can do including prayer, petitions and sharing the message. We are part of the universal church, and have much to learn from other Catholic communities. For an idea about setting up a red prayer corner following a Russian tradition and custom. Also see our Lancaster Young People Facebook Page for further updates on #RedWednesday.
