Ground-breaking survey aims to discover how God is at work in the UK
27 January 2006
A new campaign designed to confirm that God is alive and well in 21st century Britain has today been announced b
y two major Christian organisations. The Evangelical Alliance and Premier Christian Radio have joined together to ask – What’s God doing? … in the lives of both Christians and those who profess a different faith or none.
Joel Edwards, General Director of the Evangelical Alliance, said, “We hope this survey will be one of the biggest and most significant surveys of the year. We believe that the results, due to be released at Easter, will show that, contrary to popular belief, God is working throughout our land. We want to send a challenge to a society, which, at times, seems to doubt that Christ is still relevant in 21st century Britain.”
The survey is intended to be as far reaching as possible and therefore a cross section of the general public will be canvassed for their views on questions such as ‘when would you ever ask God to intervene?’, ‘how often do you pray?’ and ‘is sin an outdated concept?’ The opinions of Christians will also be sought through a separate survey which can be accessed via a hotlink at the bottom right of most pages on www.eauk.org. Several other interactive initiatives are also planned for major events throughout the coming year.
The partnership between the Alliance and Premier Christian Radio, to highlight how God is working in the UK, is part of the Alliance’s Alltogether initiative. Alltogether is a new way of working that enshrines the concept that Christians can achieve more if they work together than if they work separately. For example, organisations working together can commit greater resources to challenging world poverty.
Joel Edwards added, “Initiatives like the ‘What’s God Doing?’ survey serve to highlight how the Alliance is well-placed to provide an accessible platform from which to launch these key Alltogether initiatives.”
