Eroded freedom.

The Sexual Orientation Regulations have meant that the Anglican and Roman Catholic Church leaderships in the UK have spoken with a united voice. For the first time on this Blog, Rowan Williams gains a hearty endorsement.
Although these regulations are terrible for evangelical Christians, and may be seen as the clearest evidence of persecution, the problem runs considerably deeper.
No. Christians are being told how to think and are being required to act outside their consciences. This is the thin end of a very dangerous wedge.
One Sheffield JP has hit the headlines after effectively being hounded out of Family Court proceedings in Sheffield.
This can only mean that in future, all evangelical Christians, who have been the backbone of our magisterial system right back into history, will now have to be weeded out in the selection procedures.
The usual double standards will apply and Islamic applicants will inevitably not be asked the same questions about attitudes to homosexual practice as their Christian counterparts.
Not so long ago, JPs were required to fill in a form which asked if they were freemasons or not. One must conclude that a similar form will soon be winging its way to current Christians on the Bench asking them about their views.
Even the notorious Abortion Act allowed for opt outs on grounds of conscience - but this evil will not.
