The Faithworks Campaign gathered momentum with the backing of several prominent Christian leaders and the support of a number of MPs. It culminated in the submission of a 70,000-strong petition to 10 Downing Street in June 2001.

Today we handed the Prime Minister the signatures of 70,000 Christians from every denomination and region who took him at his word when he said that he wants to work with us.
