The majority of Christians are confident about spreading the gospel to others \u2014 especially people from the same social background, a new survey suggests.<\/p>\n
The survey, conducted by Savanta, was commissioned by the London City Mission. In September, researchers asked a representative sample of 1007 practising Christians \u2014 defined as people who identified as Christians, attended church, read the Bible, and prayed at least weekly \u2014 about their attitudes to communicating their faith to others.<\/p>\n
They found that almost four in five (78 per cent) said that they were \u201cconfident\u201d or \u201csomewhat confident\u201d about talking about their faith with people who were not Christian. Almost nine in ten (89 per cent) thought that doing so was \u201cimportant\u201d, and three-quarters (76 per cent) would have liked to talk more often about their faith with people who were not Christians.<\/p>\n
Respondents said that they were most likely to talk about their faith with close friends (42 per cent), family (42 per cent), and work colleagues (37 per cent).<\/p>\n
