Equality….

Salt and Light

As I regularly write urging Pastors and Students to exhort their congregations to stand up and speak out against proposed laws and policies which are in danger of criminalising Christians…

 I thought it would be worth posting a link or two to a recent news story which shows that Christian organisations weren’t scaremongering when they suggested that the Equality Act 2006 would cause moral difficulties for Guest House owners who did not wish to have people of the same sex sharing a bed in there establishments.

    Hello Keith, I am an old, heterosexual man who has been happily married to the same woman for most of my life.

    I think British law is as it should be.

    PS This might be a good topic for one of your surveys.
