Budapest, HUNGARY — The British Foreign Office has joined other governments and groups in the annual “Red Wednesday” global campaign to protest Christian persecution by lighting up monuments and landmarks in red.
Red Wednesday is promoted by Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) and Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) to highlight the plight of Christians around the world. Currently, some 245 million Christians around the globe face “severe persecution” for their faith in Jesus and on average 11 Christians are killed each day.
It is an “inconvenient truth that the overwhelming majority of persecuted religious believers are Christians,” the 2019 report stated, adding that 80 percent of people facing religious persecution around the world are Christians.
