Enforced Secularism
—Albert Mohler

"The Church of England has taken the unusual step of asking the British government not to pass a proposed anti-discrimination law. It seems that the law could, among other things, lead to legal action against churches and Christians who uphold biblical standards of sexual morality.

According to media reports and the church's statement, the proposed law could allow homosexuals to sue if they heard a sermon that declared homosexuality to be sinful. A homosexual might also sue if denied membership in a church and felt they had been put in a "humiliating position."

In its submission to Parliament, the Church of England also argued that any legislation in this area must respect the right of Christians to live according to their faith. Similarly, Christian schools must be able to teach in accordance with Christian conviction and principles.

It seems that the Church of England is now forced to defend its right to be a church in England.

We are living in strange times."
