Naked Truth tackles porn

A new programme to help churches tackle issues of porn use and addiction within their congregations has been unveiled, against the background of rising consumption.

According to research carried out by the charity launching the programme, the Naked Truth Project, 13% of UK adults admitted to being addicted to watching pornography. The ‘Church Membership’ programme was launched at a House of Commons event, hosted by Tim Farron MP (photo) and attended by six other MPs and peers.

Ian Henderson, founder and CEO of the Naked Truth Project, said: ‘Churches should be equipped to talk honestly about pornography use and its impact on communities.’ Churches can get exclusive access to resources, training and support to enable leaders tackle the damaging social and relational impact of porn addiction within communities.
