Local Labour leaders in Plymouth have
removed prayers from the beginning of
council meetings, as ‘part of the process of
modernisation’.
Prayers will be 15 minutes before the
meeting officially starts at 2 o’clock. A local
Conservative councillor strongly criticised
the move, slamming ‘the thoughtless rush
for change’.

The Christian Institute
97% of abortions carried out in the UK last
year could have been illegal, a pro-life charity chairman said in early August.
Professor Jack Scarisbrick referred to the latest Department of Health statistics which show
that abortions were mostly performed on mental health grounds. But the latest Royal College
of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists guidelines
say women with an unexpected pregnancy are
no more or less likely to suffer adverse psychological consequences if they have an abortion
or continue with the pregnancy.
