Standing for Freedom of Religion

CSW (Christian Solidarity Worldwide) is a faith-driven advocacy organisation committed to defending the right to freedom of religion or belief for all people, regardless of their faith background. Their team of specialist advocates works in over 20 countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, tirelessly striving to ensure that this fundamental human right is upheld and protected.

At the heart of CSW’s mission is a deep theological conviction: all people are created in the image of God, and the freedom to believe is the ‘first freedom’ given to humankind. This belief compels CSW to stand with everyone facing injustice because of their religion or belief—not only fellow Christians, but people of all faiths and none. Speaking up for others is not just a moral duty; it’s a spiritual calling rooted in the Great Commandment and the Great Commission.

Jesus teaches us to love our neighbour, and in the parable of the Good Samaritan, He reminds us that our neighbour includes those who are different from us. CSW embodies this teaching by advocating for those who are marginalised, persecuted or forgotten.

Together with St Michael’s Roman Catholic Church and Ashtead Baptist Church, we worship and serve in the local community.

The Good Friday Pond Service is held just off Barnett Wood Lane, and the Remembrance Sunday Service by the war memorial is deeply moving. We celebrate our unity with an annual service.

Food is also important, with our monthly Men’s Breakfast, and the Ashtead Village Day Tea Tent.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’” Jesus

— Matthew 25:35-36
