It is “high time” that the denial of freedom of religion and belief is given the same attention as climate change, says the bishop behind a major government review into persecution.<\/p>\n

The Bishop of Truro, the Rt Rev Philip Mounstephen, said that religious freedom was under “grave threat” around the world, but the global response had typically been “inaction”.<\/p>\n

“How grave does this situation have to become before we act?” he said.<\/p>\n

“We can no longer say this is a sideline issue. The time for inaction and indifference is over.” @foreignoffice<\/a> @churchofengland<\/a> @tariqahmadbt<\/a>
