The Baptist Union of Great Britain (BUGB) is the Baptist family in England and Wales (there is also the Baptist Union of Wales). It is made up of churches, regional associations, the national resource centre and Baptist colleges. The Union works with others in mission locally, regionally and internationally.
The Home Secretary's stern Easter message to church leaders comes after it emerged a Baptist minister backed Clapham chemical attacker Abdul Ezedi's bid to gain asylum.
The asylum judge who heard the sex offender's appeal to stay in the UK decided he had 'not been honest in several aspects of his account'.
A video showing Ezedi being laid to rest aired on the BBC last night. His funeral was allegedly held at a mosque in west London before he was given a Muslim burial in east London on March 11.
Abdul Ezedi was considered so dangerous by the Baptist Church it drew up a 'safeguarding contract' for the safety of parishioners over his sex assault conviction.
