Heart, mind and soul.
Ten years ago, I was received into the Catholic Church by Myanmar’s first-ever cardinal, Charles Bo, in St Mary’s Cathedral, Yangon, with Lord Alton of Liverpool as my sponsor and St Charles Borromeo as my patron saint.
It is perhaps no coincidence that I write this just after launching the first report on threats to religious freedom in Hong Kong. The report, titled "Sell Out My Soul" – a take-off of the great metrical Magnificat “Tell Out My Soul” – conveys the increasing compromises Christians and other religious believers in Hong Kong are having to make as the Chinese regime dismantles the city’s freedoms.
