Please pray that MPs who understand the need for measures to combat the marginalisation of Christianity and the "trumping" or overlooking of Christians' rights by other rights, will attend and speak in the debate on Monday.  For example, the Minister forgot to mention "religion or belief" in an announcement on the new Bill (click here to see) and the pictorial representation of "religion or belief" in the Equality Bill Easy Read guide is a person using based on a prayer mat—presumably a Muslim, which you can see on page 4 if you click here.
