If you have ever wondered what it actually means to be an "Evangelical" Christian in the UK today, here's a GREAT resource for you.
The Evangelical Alliance and Christian Research have just released some insightful research that they call "A snapshot of the beliefs and habits of evangelical Christians in the UK". Complete with easy to understand charts and insights by Christian leaders such as Derek Tidball, Elaine Storkey and Roger Forster, it deals with topics as diverse as Bible reading and assisted suicide, giving and abortion, women in leadership and miracles.
Well worth a look and available free online at http://www.eauk.org/snapshot/

To me, the most fascinating thing about this report is what is NOT in it. There is no mention at all about World Mission - once a defining characteristic of British Evangelicalism. Perhaps, they will mention something in later reports, but it would have been unthinkable to leave this issue out of the headline report a few years ago. Perhaps it says something about the priorities of the commissioning body?
