It is disappointing that they are being asked by their church to consider alternative ways of supporting human rights. Only a very small number have left Amnesty in the UK and we hope that remains the case. After all, our members and supporters cannot possibly play an active part in all of our campaigns and, in some circumstances because of deeply held beliefs, they choose not to do so. This has always been the case and we as a movement have always respected such views. There will continue to be more that unites Amnesty International and the Catholic Church than divides us.
