[EV News] 27 May 2008--The BBC News website reports that Paul Eddy, a lay member of General Synod will continue with a campaign for the Church of England to try to evangelise Muslims, despite coming under intense pressure from bishops to withdraw the plan.
The motion calls on the Church to proclaim Christianity as the only route to ultimate salvation. He said he had received angry e-mails and telephone calls from senior figures in the Church denouncing his motion. However, Mr Eddy has secured enough support for his motion to be debated at the next meeting of Synod in July.
Mr Eddy claims to have the backing of at least 124 members of the synod, including the Bishops of Rochester, Carlisle and Chester.
