In 2018, Bishop Philip was tasked by the UK Government with investigating the persecution of Christians.
His report has been fully accepted and is being implemented by the current government in support of freedom of religion and belief.In this free talk, Bishop Philip will discuss his investigation, the difficulties faced by believers in practicing their faith, and the need to unpack the persecution problem.
The talk is will introduced by Professor of Faith and Global Politics Lee Marsden and followed by a Q&A.
