Four churches have joined forces to accuse the government of welfare payment cuts they say are unjust and target society's most vulnerable.
The Easter criticism has come from the Baptist Union of Great Britain, the Methodist and United Reformed Churches, and the Church of Scotland.

Earlier this month, the Archbishop of Canterbury backed an open letter, signed by 43 of his bishops, criticising plans to limit rises in working-age benefits and some tax credits to 1% for three years.
He said the current system recognised rising costs of food, fuel and housing by giving benefit rises in line with inflation.
"These changes will mean it is children and families who will pay the price for high inflation, rather than the government," he said.

Spot the missing church.
Yes, the church whose newly chosen capo di tutti capi cares so much for the poor.
As in the Thatcher years, the Catholic church adheres to the code of omertà while other Christian bodies condemn the ideology of class hate and the destruction of the welfare system.
