Evangelicals Now (en) has responded to an Amnesty International UK report – now withdrawn for review – which branded it, among others, an “anti-rights organisation”.

Some of those also labelled a “growing threat” to human rights were the Evangelical Alliance, Affinity, the Christian Institute, Christian Values in Education (CViE); the Christian Medical Fellowship; Living Out; Christians in Parliament; Lovewise; Christian Action, Research and Education (CARE); Anglican Mainstream; True Freedom Trust; and Brephos.

en’s Chair of Trustees Joel Morris said: “If being deemed an anti-rights organisation means that you hold to Biblical values on abortion, gender and marriage, then we’re doing what we should be doing as a Christian newspaper … To say that there’s a rise in an anti-rights movement in the UK is to say that Christians are now speaking up more boldly because they care about the country their children are growing up in.”
