Christianity, sex and free Speech?

Andrea Minichiello Williams, barrister and founder of the CLC says few Christian leaders or individuals realize that buried within the Corners and Justice Bill, to be debated tomorow (23rd June) is a clause which could prevent Christians openly stating what the Bible says, and Christians have believed for 2,000 years, about issues such as homosexual conduct or even marriage.

She said: “No-one would imagine that a Bill to do with Coroners could contain anything about free speech and with all the media attention on MP expenses, this vital issue is going unreported by the media. If it got through as it stands, it would have devastating consequences for Christian witness and integrity in the UK. Church leaders and individuals Christians answering questions about their faith could well find themselves the subject of a police investigation and arrest just for speaking and living according to the Bible’s teaching on sexuality and marriage.”
