In an astonishing email, Adam Tallis, General Manager of Ampersand at The Law Society, said: "The nature of your event has recently been drawn to our attention, and it is contrary to our diversity policy, espousing as it does an ethos which is opposed to same sex marriage." 

"What is significant here is that the lay reader whose licence has been temporarily ‘withdrawn’ for two months supports the Coalition for Marriage, while the lay readers who oppose it – and who stood up in front of the congregation to dispute publicly with Mr Gowlland – are not subject to any disciplinary action.”

A Christian doctor sacked after emailing a prayer to colleagues lost his claim for unfair dismissal after a tribunal judge ruled that there was no place for religious references at work.

One of the most prominent figures in the Church of England has joined a landmark court case over the right of Christians to wear the cross.

UK churches fear that they could be forced to perform gay marriages. Christians in the West are coming under increased pressure due to the growing influence of secularists.

"Christians are losing their jobs. They are being forced from the public square."

“Christians are not asking for special treatment, but we are looking for a level playing field and for sincerely held beliefs to be given equal space in our law and in our society.”

Britain's laws that are designed to end "discrimination" have eroded the rights of Christians in the country. Despiste their seemingly good intentions, the laws have limited the rights of Christians to practice their faith.

A Conservative member of parliament faced death threat for supporting the traditional definition of marriage as relationship between a man and a woman. A Christian leader also received abusive emails for taking similar position.
