Church leaders meet to confront pornography

Christian Action Research & Education (CARE) put on the P Word Conference in partnership with the Naked Truth Project and it took place at Belfast Bible College from 10am to 4pm.

Prominent church leaders and leading experts gathered to discuss, pray and tackle the issue of pornography.

There were presentations and pre-recorded contributions and delegates were offered practical tools to feel equipped to address pornography in their churches and communities.

There was also a prayer space, set up by 24-7 Prayer for those who wanted to intercede and pray for the issue.

CARE's Churches Development Officer for Northern Ireland, Tim Houston, said: "Pornography has never been more accessible, affordable, anonymous or addictive.

"Pornography use is widespread in our communities, including in our Churches, and we need to address it due to the damaging impact it can have on those who watch it and those who are in the industry.

"Christians have a long reputation of standing up against harmful norms that have become commonplace in society today. This is another issue that we will not only speak out on, but partner with church leaders to equip them to talk about why we should tackle pornography addiction and pastor people through it.

"P Word resources the church to understand the social costs of pornography and gives leaders the tools needed to address the issue back in their churches and communities, leading to long term, positive change."
