Picture of Theresa Davies
At 2pm today, 16th September 2009, Theresa Davies, Deputy Registrar with Islington Borough Council, will be interviewed in an internal grievance procedure where her demotion because of her refusal to preside over same sex civil partnership ceremonies will be discussed. A fundamental issue is being raised in this case as to whether Christian faith presents a bar to Governmental and numerous private sector employments. In a number of decisions it has been held lawful for an employer to
require adherence to an Equal Opportunities Policy, and compel Christians to support the practice of sexual conduct that they believe is sinful. In short, a condition of employment will be the support of practices contrary to their faith. These rulings will drive many Christians out of many employments; and in an age in which the Government is an important employer, significant restriction on our liberties is taking place.
Pray for Islington Borough Council, that they can make a brave decision supporting freedom of religion and for the Christian Legal Centre working on this case today.
