Christianity is being “silenced” within the UK’s public sector,
according to a former top Whitehall civil servant.
William Nye, who has recently been appointed as the Church of England’s
secretary general, said that talking about the Christian faith within civil
service culture is becoming increasingly "odd
and unusual".
"There
has been, in the 20 years I was in the public sector, a sort of squeezing out of
Christianity from many aspects of the public sector," he said.

Mr Nye revealed that, during his time at Whitehall, he observed a
general reluctance amongst Christian civil servants to talk about
Christ.
When asked to suggest candidates from the civil service for a
senior post in the Church of England, he found it difficult to recommend anyone.
