More than a thousand Christians march against Christian nationalism 


The group was part of a wider event, called The Together March, which had more than 200 civil society organisations taking part in central London, on Saturday, 28 March


A diverse group of Christians march in a peaceful protest in London, holding banners with messages of love, hope, and unity.

The Christian bloc was made up more than 20 Christian organisations including Better Story, Christians for a Welcoming Britain, Oasis Church Waterloo, Red Letter Christians UK and Christian Climate Action among others. They marched together to show that 'the Christian message is one of God’s love for all,' according to organisers.

Sally Mann, senior minister of Bonny Downs Baptist Church and Co-Director of Red Letter Christians UK, spoke from the main stage, quoting from the Bible to 'stand against the heresy of Christian nationalism'. 

She even invited Tommy Robinson 'to come and be discipled in a church like mine.' 

'We won’t let you church-wash your racism, but will help you bring the hurting child within you to Jesus, who welcomed us all as children, and show you how perfect love casts our fear. Because love always wins.' 

Robinson had organised the Unite the Kingdom march last September, as well as a 'Put Christ Back Into Christmas’ carol event in Whitehall in December. 

Before the march the Christians held a service at Oasis Church Waterloo where the Bishop of Croydon, Rt Revd Rosemarie Mallet and Bishop of Edmonton, Rt Revd Anderson Jeremiah, led prayers. 

The Rt Revd Mallett said, 'The Diocese of Southwark stands with all people of goodwill who seek to build diverse and inclusive communities. We are proud to support the Together Alliance March in central London.

'As witnesses to Christ’s love which is at the heart of our Christian faith, we are committed to building bridges rather than barriers and to living out Jesus’ command to love our neighbours.'
