Exhibition on the Plight of Persecuted Christians Opens in London

Christianity is the world’s largest, most influential and most persecuted religion, and the exhibition Cross-in-Fire, opened in London on Monday evening, presents the plight of Christians facing persecution and sends a strong message of support for Christianity, the Head of the Hungarian Parliament’s European Affairs Committee said at the opening event.

Speaking to the Hungarian public media at the exhibition’s venue, the Hungarian Cultural Center London, Judit Varga said that when Hungary represents a migration policy in the European Union, concerned about the future of Europe, the program Hungary Helps is also part of it.

“We are not just talking into the air when we say that the causes of migration must be tackled, and not the problems and the conflicts must be brought to Europe,” she said.

Christianity is not only facing physical threats all over the world, but also enormous political pressures and challenges, while mass and uncontrolled immigration also poses a cultural and terrorist threat,”

Varga added.

She stressed that the exhibition opened in London on Monday evening also highlights the responsibility of politicians. In addition to concrete help, political engagement and advocacy is also very much needed, as mainstream political trends are trying to suppress the voices of Christians. In the next European Parliament elections, “we have one task: to stand up for our values and show that there is a viable alternative, that the European way of life is at stake. If we lose our Christianity, we lose ourselves,” warned Varga.

She continued:

We must not forget that in Europe, Christianity, Christian heritage, and tradition is the common denominator that allows for greater cooperation between nation states.”

Varga added that Hungary is one of the few European nations that have had the courage to include Christianity in their constitution and fundamental law. She added that in the current period, when Western civilization is facing a serious demographic crisis, Hungary trusts in the institution of the family instead of mass and uncontrolled immigration.

The exhibition, open between November 2-18, was organized in cooperation with the Hungarian National Museum, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Hungary, and the Embassy of Hungary in London.
