Christian Concern:
BREAKING NEWS: Landmark European Court judgment on Christian freedoms will be announced on Tuesday
A landmark judgment in the cases of four UK Christians will be handed
down at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg at 09:00 UK time on Tuesday 15th January 2013
Please pray that Christian freedoms would be upheld and please help us to continue to stand with Christians
Andrea Williams said: "These are landmark cases and we have waited a
long time to get to this point. At stake is not only the future shape of
Christian involvement in community life but the protection of important
personal freedoms in a diverse society."
The Christian Legal Centre is handling two of the cases:
Shirley Chaplin had
worn her confirmation cross on a small chain around her neck, without
incident, throughout her nearly thirty years in front-line nursing.
Then, as part of a new uniform policy, she was told to remove it
although allowances were made for the religious dress of others and no
credible health and safety concern could be established. For a briefing sheet on Shirley's case, click here.
Gary McFarlane, a
relationships counsellor, said during a training course that he might
have a conscientious objection to providing sex therapy to same-sex
couples because of his Christian faith. He was dismissed for gross
misconduct for discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation. For a briefing sheet on Gary's case, click here.
It is your generous financial gifts
that make it possible for us to stand with Christians such as Gary and
Shirley. Please help us keep promoting Christian freedoms by making a donation today:
