«Cancelling Christians»

Hace cincuenta años, en el Reino Unido las cruzadas evangelizadoras de Billy Graham y sus «Festivales de la Esperanza» contaban con un amplio apoyo público. El predicador estadounidense, conocido por su entusiasmo al proclamar el mensaje de Jesucristo, atrajo a multitudes de más de dos millones de ávidos oyentes en 1954 en el Harringay Arena de Londres. Si Billy viviera hoy, parece poco probable que tuviera las mismas oportunidades. Al año siguiente, 2,6 millones de personas acudieron a Glasgow, y miles más acudieron a lugares públicos hasta su última cruzada británica en 1989. Fue famoso por ser invitado a una audiencia privada con la Reina y los medios de comunicación apoyaron su misión.

Si Billy estuviera vivo hoy, parece poco probable que tuviera las mismas oportunidades. El culto a la cultura de la cancelación en todo el Reino Unido está negando rápidamente a los predicadores cristianos la oportunidad de predicar en las calles, hacer reservas en locales privados e incluso anunciarse indirectamente en público. No sólo nos enfrentamos a una crisis de libertad de expresión. Estamos censurando a los cristianos.

Statement of Faith

Based on our adherence to the inspired, infallible, inerrant, and authoritative Word of God in Scripture, we profess with the Christian Church throughout time and around the world the faith expressed in the Apostles’ Creed:

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.

Yahaya Sharif-Aminu

In March 2020, a dangerous mob burned down his house and the Hisbah religious police, an official authority in charge of enforcing Sharia law, arrested Yahaya. Shortly after, the young man was convicted in a Sharia court for his alleged “blasphemy” and sentenced to death by hanging. His Supreme Court appeal has the potential to overturn Sharia-based blasphemy laws in Northern Nigeria.
