The 2025 Westminster Declaration has been drawn up by Christians concerned by the deterioration of civil liberties, morality, and the value of human life in the UK in recent years. It is intended as an update to the 2010 Westminster Declaration in light of the huge changes in the UK since then. "By ignoring Britain's Christian heritage we have endangered human life, weakened society, and created a fragmented nation uncoupled from its formative traditions, and without a unifying vision for its future." It calls for a strengthening of marriage and family life instead.
