A Christian therapist has threatened legal action against seven UK counselling and psychotherapy bodies challenging the legality of their support for the Memorandum of Understanding on Conversion Therapy (MoU).

An Employment Tribunal has refused to strike out a claim of a Christian electrician who says he was discriminated for his opposition to “the growing influence of Islam in Britain and other countries” and to “inclusivity and positive action in favour of non-Christian faiths, minority sexual orientations, and transgenderism”.

Christian Concern has urgently written to education secretary, Nadhim Zahawi, warning him that children will be harmed by the government’s proposed conversion therapy ban legislation and that teachers will be silenced for fear of prosecution.

A Christian pastor and school caretaker, who received a death threat and was hounded out of his job for a tweet that said LGBTQ pride events should not be attended by Christians and children, is to have his legal case heard.

In a landmark ruling, an Employment Tribunal has ruled that an NHS Trust harassed and directly discriminated against a Christian nurse for wearing a cross necklace at work.
