Lapido Media
Lapido Media - Centre for Religious Literacy in World Affairs is a British-based ‘philanthromedia’ charity, founded by journalists to "advocate for greater awareness of the faith dimension in policy, governance, and conflict."
The Lapido website provides examples of religiously literate journalism, written by stringers across the world. Topics have included Human Trafficking, Religious Freedom and Feminism. Lapido believe the rich can do little to change the world for the poor unless they learn the language of faith. The charity is founded on the belief that many news stories do not make sense without understanding religion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://holytrinityclapham.org/cpt_news/lapido-media/ )〕
== History ==
Dr Jenny Taylor founded Lapido Media〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theguardian.com/profile/jenny-taylor )〕 in 2005 leaving her position as Head of Media for the Church Mission Society in London. In 2002 she set up and ran the Break the Silence Campaign to draw the world’s attention to 17 years of civil war in Northern Uganda which particularly targeted children. The campaign was commended in the British parliament in 2004. Harnessing the concern and prayer of 400 British churches to international agencies as well as working strategically with the mainstream media – one of Bob Geldof’s six Africa films for Live Aid was made in Kitgum - resulted in the tripling of United Nations aid to Northern Uganda and contributed to a reduction in hostilities and the eventual break-up of Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps. After witnessing how religiously literate journalism could generate social and spiritual capital, and inspired by theologian Lesslie Newbigin’s call to a ‘radical encounter with secular culture’, Dr Taylor and Squadron Leader Mike Holdsworth, career officer in the Royal Air Force, founded Lapido to help the media "tell a truer story".
Dr Taylor befriended Newbigin when she met him as a student in 1988 at the Selly Oak Federation of Colleges of which he was then President. She joined the management committee of the influential British Council of Churches Gospel and our Culture Programme – despite never having read a theology book – and went on to work with Newbigin until his death in 1998. She edited his last papers and co-wrote (Faith and Power: Christianity and Islam in ‘Secular’ Britain ) with him (SPCK 1998). Dr Taylor also credits an article by The Times columnist Bernard Levin as contributing to the founding of Lapido Media. After casting doubt on the persecution of Christians around the world in a column in the early 90s, Levin received a mass of evidence to the contrary from Dr Taylor and, independently, Patrick Sookhdeo of Barnabas Fund. This resulted in Levin doing a series of pieces about persecution of Christians beginning with "Islam's Fearful Bloodletting" on 23 March 1993. Shocked by what she described as "media blindness", Dr Taylor eventually went on to found Lapido, the first organisation to incorporate the expression “religious literacy” in its brand.
