A campaign was launched in late February
to bring about a law to protect religious
freedoms in the UK.
The law would hope to ‘affirm the freedom from being required to support a particular worldview or set of beliefs in order to
hold a public sector job; stand for election;
work in teaching, healthcare and law; study
at university; or give parental care to a child.
A review of the supporting literature is on page 5.
Wise move?

A blog post in February reported that a
scout leader had his membership removed
by the Scouting Association after expressing
concerns about anti-Christian bias in the
scouting magazine.
The magazine appeared to be sidelining
Christian events in its calendar, and it encouraged groups to meet for celebrations in venues
that were not churches in a bid to be more
inclusive. In his letter to the editor, he likened
the magazine’s photograph of a veiled female Scout leader to ‘Darth Vadar’.
