INJUSTICE RANT
What makes mJa member Antony Schelts boil with rage...


Antony Schelts

INJUSTICE makes me rage. Like the woman who is a member of my church from Cameroon. She is seeking asylum in this country. Abusive family members there are threatening to kill her. But - she doesn't match up to "Home Office criteria" so she is being threatened with being kicked out of the country and deported back to Africa - and in danger of violence or death. That's Britain's justice.

She's not alone. I have many other friends who are asylum seekers, some due to having a Christian faith - they have left their own country because they fear for their life. They're not allowed to convert to Christianity from their religion of birth. If they do they will be killed. I know these people. I can see that Jesus is real in their life. But again they don't meet the set criteria of what a "Christian" should be like (one was asked in court what the names of the 12 disciples were - I mean: do you know? Apparently that's how we prove whether someone is a Christian or not). They are refused permission to stay and they live in fear that they will get kicked out of the country.

Of course, injustice can be on a much smaller scale than the Home Office. I can still remember getting picked on and excluded by some at school because of my size. I was different. Any singling out and persecution of the powerless - from the school corridor to the corridors of power - it's all injustice and I hate it all.
