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.
Lynda Rose (pictured), VfJUK’s founder, said: ‘We aim to find out if Christians really are suffering discrimination and bigotry, or if it’s all a fuss about nothing, and their complaints just those of a once-elitist group losing influence and its hold on power. Ahead of that, we want to find out what grassroot Christians and other faith groups think – is freedom of speech and belief a reality in the UK? Or are Christians the sacrificial lambs on the altar of woke reconfiguration?’
The Inquiry is expected to last two years and will end with the submission of a Report and recommendations for action to Parliament. Readers can access the questionnaire here: https://vfjuk.org/news/
