Churches across the UK will interrupt their worship on Sunday to watch a three-minute video warning about the Equality Bill, which is due to be voted on in the House of Commons the following day.  Christian Concern for our Nation believes the bill is the biggest state intervention into people's private expression of their faith since the Reformation.

For example, if the bill goes thorugh churches could not advertise for a "Christian youth worker," but just a "youth worker." The role of worship leader, often pivotal in any church, could no longer be restricted to Christians.

"Christians and Churches across this nation need to be aware that this bill has enormous implications for their day- to-day functioning. If it is passed in its present form, the Equality Bill will result in churches and Christian organizations having to recruit people to key positions who are unsympathetic to the need to reflect Christ and to worship Him through their work,” says Andrea Minichiello-Williams, director of Christian Concern for our Nation. “That will in turn affect the way in which Jesus Christ is perceived by those served by the Church and its ministries."
