Christian street ministry has a long and fruitful history in the United Kingdom. But in recent years the freedom to preach in the streets has been severely curtailed. The legalisation of same-sex marriage and the advancement of transgenderism has left Christians vulnerable should they speak about the Bible’s pattern for marriage and sexuality. This is true for people in the workplace, who may risk their jobs for speaking up. But it’s also true in public spaces.

If the government adopts this as its official definition it will be a very significant moment in this country. While it will not actually be a blasphemy law, it will effectively be a blasphemy code in relation to Islam. It won’t actually be a criminal offence to say something which falls foul of this definition, but you could lose your job and have your speech recorded against you as a non-crime hate incident.

I believe that this article is materially misleading the public on a matter of real importance. The BBC has long suppressed stories of those who are grateful to have moved out of gay or trans identities, but this is a step further.

The UK Supreme Court has ruled that the Christian-focused religious education and collective worship in Northern Ireland’s state-funded primary schools is “unlawful.” This is a direct assault on the Christian foundations of the education system, but has been coming for some time. It is a stark warning of what happens when a nation abandons truth for relativism in its schools.

Christian street preacher Shaun O’Sullivan has been cleared by a jury at Swindon Crown Court after a trial that raised serious questions about freedom of speech and the policing of so-called “hate claims.”

New analysis in the UK by independent public health consultant Kevin Duffy has shown that many women who access abortion in their twenties will remain childless at 45 – a risk they are not told about.

why has the TRA redacted all reference to Islam or Muslims? What do they think they are hiding? Do they really believe that the British public won’t draw the obvious conclusion? If they really think that then they really ought to do a better job regulating teaching in this country. One would have to be very badly educated not to see the blindingly obvious here.

Islam is not a peaceful religion, when judged according to its texts and by the example of Muhammad. It is deeply antisemitic. It is a very different religion to Christianity with a very different founder. We cannot ignore these differences and pretend that every act of violence or abuse perpetrated by a Muslim has nothing to do with the religion itself.

After being rushed through the House of Commons earlier this year, the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill continues to be scrutinised in the House of Lords. We have previously warned about the dangers of the bill which validate long-held concerns of overreach into the independence of schools and the private lives of Christian families.

“This case highlights the dangerous consequences of the vague and weaponised use of the term ‘Islamophobia’. In a free and democratic society, we must be able to discuss public events and express concern about violence and injustice without fear of losing our livelihoods. The definition of Islamophobia is being used to silence legitimate speech and punish those who dare to speak out. We stand firmly behind this teacher and his right to freedom of expression.”

“This wasn’t about me. It’s about the erosion of our hard-won freedoms and the right to speak truth in love. I’ve never been arrested in 25 years. I wasn’t there to cause trouble, I was there out of love, to share hope and to help people understand the love of Christ. When I heard the charges were dropped, I was relieved, but also angry. So much time, energy, and stress wasted for nothing. I go out because people are hurting. I won’t let fear silence the gospel."

Have abortion buffer zones been weaponised to shut down democratic debate? And are pro-lifers facing a miscarriage of justice due to financial disparities during private prosecutions? A new report, commissioned by the Christian Legal Centre, argues this is the case in the UK.

A new analysis of abortion figures in the United Kingdom has revealed the devastating reality that 40.3% of pregnancies in the Labour-majority cities of Liverpool and Brighton and Hove end in abortion. We must not allow ourselves to become desensitised to the reality that each one of these digits is a human life lost.

“The council’s actions were not only unlawful but deeply unjust. We will continue to stand with Victoria and others like her to ensure that no one is silenced for holding Christian beliefs or speaking out to protect children.”

Burning a book is not an offence in Britain. Or is it? It depends which book. If you burn a copy of the Qur’an in public, then the police will arrest you, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) will charge you, and a judge will convict you. The police, the CPS, and the judiciary seem intent on enforcing Islamic blasphemy.
