UK Evangelical leaders suggest attendance at Papal Visit

The largest body of evangelicals in the United Kingdom says Christians of all denominations should “wholeheartedly welcome” this week’s visit by Pope Benedict XVI.

That is, if they want to protect their right to freely practice their faith “in the wake of growing hostility from a small number of influential people promoting a secular agenda.”

During the first papal visit to Britain in 28 years, the pope is expected to deliver remarks on what has been described as a growing “secular agenda.”

"There have been a number of high-profile cases involving gagging orders on Christians sharing their faith at work, praying for people and practicing their faith in obedience to biblical teachings in the work place," notes Steve Clifford, general director of the Evangelical Alliance, which represents around a million evangelicals

Whole heartedly agree, the way Denominations have historically seperated the Church should be put aside to offer a Brotherly welcome to the Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church simply because if nothing else, as Christians the commandment to love one another has not been annualled.
