Fuurther to my last message, we have had two examples of how important it is to contend for the faith.
A recent report shows attendances in the Church of England have fallen by 20,000 last year, and to that add the losses in other Churches.
At University College London a cartoon was displayed showing "Jesus and Mo" having a drink at a bar. This was posted by an atheist group at the College
The atheist group was asked by the UCL union to remove it, but refused and started a petition defending its freedom of expression.
The image that started the controversy was taken from an online satirical comic called Jesus and Mo. The twice-weekly comic strip, running since 2005, depicts Jesus and what creators say is a "body double" of Muhammad talking to a barmaid.
The cartoon was removed after a Muslim group objected. Notice how quickly response is made when a Muslim group protested. (as should happen) But notice too no Christian group is reported to have voiced protest.
If only we were as proud of our faith
