What would a conversion therapy ban mean for me?

The government has proposed a ban on ‘conversion therapy’ – a very broad term, with no one clear meaning, that generally covers attempts to change or control certain sexual feelings or gender identity. The ban has received a lot of attention over the last few months, due to various opposing views and arguments.

But if the government moves forward with its current proposals, then therapists, youth workers, pastors, teachers, social workers or carers would be at risk of being shut down and losing their licence to practise. A conversion therapy ban would effectively criminalise ordinary Christian approaches to discipleship and sanctification.

So what can Christians do to protect their freedom of religion and expression?

Join us at New Wine Church where our Head of Public Policy, Tim Dieppe, explores how a therapy ban would affect Christians across the UK and encourages us to keep standing for truth and bring hope to this world.
