Freedom

Britain has a history of religious freedom and tolerance. UK and European law largely protects an individual’s right to hold and manifest religious beliefs at work, although this is fast being eroded. Due to badly-written equality legislation, increasing numbers of Christians have been penalised for their faith at work. Some have been threatened with disciplinary action, suspended and even sacked for refusing to act against their consciences. At Christian Concern we vigorously resist any restrictions on freedom of speech and expression for Christians at work.

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:36

  • Christian ex-magistrate appeals exclusion from NHS directorship
    January 22nd, 2019
    In December, Christian Concern brought news that ex-magistrate Richard Page was granted permission to take his case to the most senior judges in England and Wales after being blocked from returning to a non-executive director role at an NHS trust for expressing the view that it is in a child’s best interests to be raised by a mother and a father. The results of his appeal could have significant consequences for anyone expressing a Christian view in a social setting.
