St
Aidan’s RC High School, in Wishaw, has become the first official Aid to the
Church in Need ‘Solidarity School’.
The
campaign seeks to awaken the conscience of Scotland’s youth by encouraging them
to become global citizens. Aid to the Church in Need believes that it will be an
invaluable and necessary challenge for the youth of Scotland to learn about the
existence and scale of Christian persecution.
Commenting
on why St Aidan’s became an ACN Solidarity School, Mrs Barton (Principal Teacher of RE)
said: “This partnership will allow our students to learn more
about, and engage with, issues of persecution, religious freedom and human
rights throughout the world.”
I would
like to thank St Aidan's for taking this step in acknowledging the existence of
Christian persecution and for committing to raise awareness and funds for
the persecuted Church.

school would like to become an ACN Solidarity School please get in touch:
