Jesus and giving at the heart of Christmas
from EA:
Evangelical Christians give generously of their time and money at Christmas.
New research released by the Evangelical Alliance shows that nine out of 10 evangelicals they surveyed will either volunteer or give money this Christmas.
In a survey of more than 800 evangelical Christians, the findings demonstrate that good will is not in short supply this year, as nearly every one of them will give to charity this Christmas. Less than one per cent intend on reducing their giving, with almost a third (29 per cent) intent on increasing their generosity – this is more than the one in five in the general population who give more at Christmas.
When it comes to actions to serve people in their communities, nearly four out of 10 (39 per cent) of evangelicals surveyed will either provide food parcels for people in the community or meals for homeless or vulnerable people.
These evangelical Christians viewed the wider celebration of Christmas across the UK in contrast with their own views, with 84 per cent saying that it was too much about money and consumerism. However, 70 per cent of Christians give consistently throughout the year, generosity is a way of life not just a Christmas gift.
