EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE - LETTER TO P.M.
REGARDING CONVERSION THERAPY
The Evangelical Alliance has written to the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, outlining how current proposals being considered by the Government on conversion therapy could pose a direct threat to religious liberty and restrict personal freedoms. The letter, which recognises the harmful practices of religious groups in the past, highlights the possibility that these measures could result in criminalising Christians and common church activities.

A LETTER FROM EVANGELICAL BISHOPS TO THE 'LIVING IN LOVE
|
In response to repeated requests from around the country, a number of evangelical bishops have written to Bishop Christopher Cocksworth and the Living in Love and Faith (LLF) Coordinating Group.
Their letter asks that the LLF work takes seriously the biblical evidence and the church’s traditional understanding of it regarding identity, marriage and relationships, hears the voice of the Anglican Communion and understands that for many evangelicals, change in the Church of England’s teaching and practice has serious consequences. It recognises the challenge facing the LLF Group and offers prayerful support as they wrestle to know the mind of Christ. To read it click here. |
