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.
If you would like to make a donation to help support Cornerstone and other religious freedom cases, please use the button below.
Yours in Christ,
Ciarán Kelly Deputy Director (Staff and Communications) The Christian Institute
