Lapido Media - Centre for Religious Literacy in World Affairs is a British-based ‘philanthromedia’ charity, founded by journalists to "advocate for greater awareness of the faith dimension in policy, governance, and conflict.

After witnessing how religiously literate journalism could generate social and spiritual capital, and inspired by theologian Lesslie Newbigin’s call to a ‘radical encounter with secular culture’,[9] Dr Taylor and Squadron Leader Mike Holdsworth, career officer in the Royal Air Force, founded Lapido to help the media "tell a truer story".

She joined the management committee of the influential British Council of Churches Gospel and our Culture Programme – despite never having read a theology book – and went on to work with Newbigin until his death in 1998.

After casting doubt on the persecution of Christians around the world in a column in the early 90s, Levin received a mass of evidence to the contrary from Dr Taylor and, independently, Patrick Sookhdeo of Barnabas Fund.

Dr Taylor has criticised the Church for ignoring the media and write, "Prostitutes, tramps, gypsies, even politicians get prayed for—but journalists are what you might call ―"a lost people group"."

[14] Lapido suggested a much stronger integration between Open Doors' news arm, then called Compass Direct, and the parent body which spawned World Watch Monitor (WWM).

Having built a strong reputation with think tanks and journalists WWM has now expanded into a strategic news operation under former BBC TV Correspondent Julia Bicknell.

[15] In 2010 Lapido launched Blind Spot: When Journalists Don’t Get Religion for Oxford University Press, with the book's Editor Paul Marshall being interviewed by classicist Tom Holland.

[17] In November 2012 Lapido hosted a dinner in London bringing together top scholars to launch Dr Keith Small's Textual Criticism and Qur’anic Manuscripts (Lexington).

Andrew Rippin at the University of Victoria described it as "the first work to bring out the full implications of several generations of scholarly activity in the area of Qur’anic textual studies.

[22] In August 2012 Lapido trustee Tom Holland created a documentary for Channel 4 titled Islam: The Untold Story[23] based on his bestselling book In The Shadow of the Sword.
