** WATCH: The Bill of Rights 2022 examined
======

Dear supporter,

The UK Government is proposing to replace the Human Rights Act 1998 with a Bill of Rights ([link removed]) . It says the Bill is intended to “ensure courts cannot interpret laws in ways that were never intended by Parliament”.

As it stands, greater weight will be given to protecting free speech. This is good news, but there is more that needs to be done.

We also have significant concerns that landmark judgments in Christian Institute cases such as Ashers Baking Co ([link removed]) . and the Named Person scheme ([link removed]) would be harder to achieve in future. Specific religious liberty protections successfully campaigned for by The Christian Institute ([link removed]) also risk being axed.

Watch as Ciarán Kelly talks to Dave Greatorex and Sam Webster about the problems with the Government’s proposed Bill of Rights ([link removed]) .

Watch now ([link removed])

The Bill is due to be debated in Parliament for the first time on 12 September.

Please pray that gospel freedom will continue to be protected and that we would be given wisdom as we engage with civil servants, politicians and journalists on this very complex set of proposals.

Yours in Christ,

Ciarán Kelly
Deputy Director (Staff and Communications)
The Christian Institute
