Anglican church leaders from across Africa have sent a petition to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown appealing for his government’s assistance in ending the brutal attacks by the so-called Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA).

Douglas Alexander, UK secretary of state for international development, has presented honorary OBE to Dr Daleep Mukarji, director of Christian Aid, in recognition of a career dedicated to the struggle against global poverty.

This Sunday two Christian campaigners from Manchester will begin a 2-week protest camp outside the Houses of Parliament to call on MPs to help change UK policies that are making refused asylum seekers destitute.

What may be, size-wise, the largest petition ever handed in to any British Prime Minister will be presented at Number 10 Downing Street by Christian environmental campaigners tomorrow.
