Join us for a day of prayer against assisted suicide – Tuesday 25 March
On Tuesday 25 March, please join us in a national day of prayer against assisted suicide.
MPs are currently discussing and debating a matter of life and death. A Private Member’s Bill to legalise assisted suicide is going through Parliament. If passed, this would mark a significant shift in our culture and its attitude towards suicide.
This Bill is now at the committee stage, where MPs will consider possible amendments before the crucial vote at its third reading, expected in April.
Similar Bills have been rejected in recent years, but the challenge now is greater than ever.
We have joined with The Christian Institute, CARE, the Christian Medical Fellowship, and the Evangelical Alliance to pray that Kim Leadbeater’s Westminster Bill and Liam McArthur’s Bill for Scotland do not become law. Vulnerable people need protection from these reckless, callous Bills. They need help to live, not help to die.
Affinity will host a short prayer meeting on Zoom at 10am on Tuesday 25 March, where we will briefly share an update on the current situation with the assisted suicide Bill before spending time in prayer that it will not become law. Please join us if you can.
Register below and we will send Zoom details to the email address you provide
On the Affinity Talks Gospel podcast, we recently spoke to a palliative medicine doctor and CMF’s Head of Public Policy about the current legislative landscape, the theological and ethical concerns surrounding assisted suicide, and the far-reaching consequences of legalising it in the UK.
