Gay rights to trump manifestation of belief

It is justifiable in a democratic society to "limit the manifestations of religious belief... for the protection of the right of gay people not to be discriminated against" according to a report by the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights.

It is recommended by the Committee that this principle even be applied in law to a wide range of 'services' including adoption services and education. Even faith schools should not to be exempt: the religious 'ethos' currently allowed by law should effectively to be abolished by proposing that to teach Christianity and its principles as 'objectively true' should be made illegal!

There are worrying indication that Christians will no longer be free under British law to witness to the clear teaching of the Bible that God created sexual relationships to be enjoyed only within a monogamous heterosexual marriage.

Please pray about his complex and worrying issue: for the sake of Christian freedom to proclaim and preach the Gospel and for the sake of our confused and broken society. If you would like further information or consider how you might act on this development, please follow this link.
