Boris Johnson, the new mayor of London, has claimed that evangelical
faith communities are being shunned in modern society.
In an interview with ReligiousIntelligence.com, he said that the good
work done by many Christian and evangelical groups is often just
ignored and derided. =93I think there is a culture now in our society
where if something is even vaguely Christian, if there is a whiff of
evangelical fervour about it then it=92s almost somehow verboten to fund
it,=94 he told the paper at a hustings event in the lead-up to the
election.
He continued: =93I think that=92s quite wrong because if you look at the
good that these groups do and you look at the way we=92re going to
transform society and undo the breakdown that we=92ve seen in family
life, the growing-up of kids without boundaries and all the rest of
the things we=92ve been talking about in this campaign, the Christian
groups are essential.=94
