Migrants are being baptised in British taxpayer-funded asylum hotels by a Christian charity. They are undergoing baptisms in asylum bathrooms despite stark concerns that Muslim migrants are only going through the process to gain a ticket into the UK.

Groups of migrants coming to Britain believe that changing religions was an effective method for bolstering an asylum case. Shocking photos show migrants submerging themself in water in a bathtub after which they are deemed to have converted. Carelinks Ministries, a registered charity linked to the minority Christadelphian sect, has visited hotels across the country to baptise migrants.

Christadelphians reject the idea of the Holy Trinity among other core Christian beliefs.

The charity conducts online conferences in the UK every Saturday morning at 9am.

Questioning the sincerity of the migrants Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, told The Telegraph that bathtub baptisms were “insanity” and proved the asylum system needed to be “completely dismantled”.

In recent years several migrants who became Christadelphian after arriving in Britain have won asylum under the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) by arguing they would face persecution and harassment if returned to their home countries.

Carelinks advertises its baptisms online and said in its 2024 annual report that it had converted “more than 260 individuals in about 30 countries” last year, which included “refugees and asylum seekers”.

In June, one of the charity’s volunteer Duncan Heaster said he had baptised a woman and “some Iranians” in an “asylum seeker hotel in west London”.

Earlier this year a whistleblowing asylum seeker has told the Express he knows migrants who have deliberately converted to Christianity simply to boost their chances of remaining in the UK.

Bilal Jaf said: “The best way to get a paper [giving you the legal right to stay] in Europe is if you can convert from Muslim to Christian.

“If they know you are atheist and convert there it’s not [as effective]. They will visit a church until they get a paper [to stay in Britain]. After that they don’t care and don’t go.”
