Christians should continue to deliver public services until the law stops them
Christians should not withdraw public services because of a perceived threat, but should continue to serve until the law is clarified, the Evangelical Alliance has urged following the passing by Parliament of the Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations 2007.The regulations seek to prevent discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation in the provision of goods, facilities and services, and the Alliance has consistently welcomed the anti-discrimination principles behind them.
However, there is a continued concern that the regulations, which have undergone minimal scrutiny from MPs, do not give religion and belief equal recognition with sexual orientation rights.
The Evangelical Alliance will shortly publish an overview and brief analysis of the regulations, together with answers to frequently asked questions, on its website.
