Prominent buildings across the country - including the House of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Bolton Town Hall - were lit blood red this week to mark #RedWednesday - an ACN - Aid to the Church in Need initiative to highlight religious persecution in Iraq, in Syria and around the world. I also hosted a Westminster Hall Debate on #RedWednesday in the run up to this important day.
We are very lucky in this country to have freedom to practice our faith, when for many people across the world holding the same belief could cost them their lives. Red Wednesday is a way in which we can stand in solidarity with all those persecuted for their faith across the world.
