And yet, religious groups often lack the confidence to speak openly about the message of their faith for fear of ridicule, being ostracized or being persecuted. For people of faith, religion isn't confined to religious festivals or significant dates, it is deeply embedded in their everyday lives - in their motivations, outlooks and conduct. In recent years we have seen widespread coverage of national monuments dedicated to answered prayer, churches and faith groups campaigning to dispel myths around the Covid vaccine, changing attitudes among young people towards prayer, and the practical response of faith groups to the current pandemic. The story of sacrifice, of whole-hearted commitment to their faith and of an unwavering faith - even in the face of certain death – gained its own momentum. Faith groups can give them those stories.
