Crucial vote today, please pray for the right outcome.
Today, Monday 25th January 2010, the House of Lords will vote on a key religious liberty issue in the Equality Bill. The Government is planning to drastically alter a religious liberty law that allows churches and other Christian groups to insist that staff (including a church minister) live consistently with the Bible's teaching on sexual behaviour. Lady O'Cathain has proposed an amendment to keep the current law unchanged.
Please pray that Lady O'Cathain's amendment succeeds.
This is part of the governments continuing exercise of trying to distance people from God's laws by liberalising the way people live to a detrimental effect. It is also a great part of the reason for the overall breakdown in this damaged society in which we live.
The government sets itself against God at their peril, and their day of reckoning will soon arrive. There will be plenty of time for reflection when they are out in the cold, wondering where they went wrong!

The government are not proposing something which includes church ministers. They are merely clarifying an existing law that church administrators, accountants etc, who do not talk to people about faith, are not subject to discrimination on the basis of their private life.
Whilst your comment is appreciated, nevertheless an Authority far higher than the Government has decreed that it is the duty of every Christian to share their faith, irrespective of the circumstance that has created the meeting of those concerned. It is important to understand that Christianity is a Ministry of all believers, not only those classified as Clergy.
