Prayer alert over conversion therapy bill

The Christian Institute (CI) is asking church leaders to put members on ‘prayer alert’ this autumn as the new Labour Government prepares to publish its draft conversion therapy bill for England and Wales.

The plea comes after the Scottish Government has delayed its own deeply repressive conversion therapy bill after the CI threatened to bring a judicial review. The SNP Government is now hoping Westminster will legislate for Scotland instead. The Northern Ireland Executive is also considering calls for a bill.

The charity has asked that churches keep their people up to date with developments on sexuality and gender. It points out that the shelving of conversion therapy laws in Scotland, Ireland, Sweden and elsewhere show that it is possible to persuade politicians that such laws are problematic.
