'Christian groups in Britain are examining a proposal to form a “ring of prayer” around Occupy London Stock Exchange protest camp at St Paul's cathedral to prevent protestors' forced removal.
The development comes as the debate over the anti-capitalist protestors' right to stay at the site has heated up with Labour MP John McDonnell joining the supporters of the St Paul's 'tent city.' Christian activists have said they consider their duties to help the demonstrators continue their peaceful protest as the church itself does not recognize their right.
"Parliament is hitting the poorest hard and not hitting the wealthy in any effective way. That stands on its head the Christian principle of love inspiring power and justice, which puts the poorest citizens first," said Rev Paul Nicolson, chairman of the pro-justice charity Zacchaeus 2000 Trust.'
