Christian discrimination probe launched

VfJUK’s founder Lynda Rose: 'Is freedom of speech and belief a reality in the UK?'

Christians in the UK have been urged to give their views and experiences on how free they feel to express and practice their faith today.

An online questionnaire has been published by Voice for Justice UK (VfJUK) to examine freedom of expression and practice of Christian beliefs in the UK, ahead of an Inquiry it will launch this month (September).

The group said discrimination against Christians has not previously been properly explored in this country. Following several legal cases involving discrimination against Christians, VfJUK has decided to launch a Commission of Inquiry into Discrimination Against Christians to investigate. The group said hearings will be online and will include evidence from those claiming they have suffered abuse. Complaints will be assessed by a panel of Commissioners.
