Close to 1,000 Christians protested outside of Parliament in New Zealand condemning as “Judas” the speaker’s removal of all references to Jesus Christ in prayer.

The change to the parliamentary prayer was enacted when Labour’s Trevor Mallard took over the speaker role. Mallard decided to remove all references to Jesus Christ in the prayer, describing it as a “compromise,” as the phrase “almighty God” remains.

Some of the protesters held signs reading “Dishonorable Judas Mallard,” referring to the disciple who betrayed Jesus. 

Event organizer Ross Smith told Radio New Zealand that the country’s Christian heritage should not be erased.

“It’s a legacy. The principals and the values that are in this nation are based on our Christian-Judea roots,” Smith said.
