US State Department Mentions Problems of Christians in the UK
Christians in the UK feel they are getting a rough ride, the US Department of State has said in a report on international religious freedom.
The report highlighted many cases involving religious freedom in the UK, including Dale Mcalpine, a Christian street preacher arrested by police in Cumbria earlier this year for saying homosexual conduct is a sin.
And, under the heading: “Restrictions on Religious Freedom”, the report highlighted the case of a foster carer with 10 years experience who was struck off when a Muslim girl in her care converted to Christianity. She later won her legal battle.
And, under the heading: “Restrictions on Religious Freedom”, the report highlighted the case of a foster carer with 10 years experience who was struck off when a Muslim girl in her care converted to Christianity. She later won her legal battle. The US report is issued annually from the State Department, which is responsible for carrying out US foreign policy.
This year’s International Religious Freedom Report looked at nearly 200 countries and territories, and said that in the UK, laws and policies “contributed to the generally free practice of religion”.
However, the report said that “Christians continued to voice concern about the ability to express their faith in the workplace”.
The report mentioned the case of Lillian Ladele, a Christian registrar who was disciplined because of her stance on civil partnerships. Her case is now heading to the European Court of Human Rights.
And the report highlighted adoption agency Catholic Care. It is the last remaining Roman Catholic adoption agency in England not to be crushed or forced to ditch its religious ethos as a result of equality regulations. We thank the "Christian Institute" for reporting.
