Cornerstone appeal – thank you for praying

Dear supporter,

Cornerstone, England’s only evangelical fostering agency, has been at the Court of Appeal this week.

It is seeking to overturn a High Court ruling that “evangelical” includes those who reject biblical teaching on sexual ethics.

We argued that:

  • it is not for the courts to decide who is and isn’t an evangelical Christian;
  • evangelicals believe sexual intimacy is to be enjoyed exclusively within a marriage between a man and a woman;
  • it is not possible to be a faithful evangelical whilst rejecting biblical sexual ethics.

Thank you for your prayers. A judgment is not expected for some time.

Please continue to pray:

  • For the judges as they consider their ruling;
  • For the trustees, staff and families of Cornerstone;
  • Giving thanks for the many freedoms Christians enjoy in the UK – including the freedom for Christian organisations to recruit only those who share their faith;
  • For a successful outcome to the case.
