Leave EU has called for all churches to ring their bells the morning after the UK officially leaves the European Union.

The campaign group said it's a way to mark a new chapter in the nation's history and will reassert the Church's relevance.

“Whichever way you look at it, February 1 will be the most momentous morning in British history since the glorious day in 1945 when our country celebrated victory over the Nazi regime in Germany,” the group said in a statement.

“That’s why we’re today calling on churches across the country to do what they did then and mark the first morning of our independence with the sound of bells ringing.”

“What finer way to reassert the Church’s relevance in this fresh new decade than by evoking the spirit of its own creation when ties with Rome were severed mirroring this millennium’s historic untethering from the Continent’s modern capital in Brussels.”

The group encouraged churchgoers to appeal to their local parish join in on the gesture.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
