Read or listen to Tony Payne's piece on the challenges of proclaiming faith in a world that appears to restrain freedom of speech.
"Perhaps the reason that Western Christians today lament their lack of access to or influence within the ‘public square’ is that once, within our race memory, we were among the powerful who had a real level of influence in those spaces. Our ideas were more mainstream and acceptable among those who controlled the machinery of public discussion. The ‘churches’ were seen to be significant players in the society, whose approval or disapproval had to be reckoned with.
Not anymore."
