Free speech and incitement?

The liberty of Christians to live and speak according to their moral beliefs is an area of growing concern to The Christian Institute.

There have been a number of alarming cases recently that demonstrate the rapidly changing attitude to Christian freedom. A street preacher from Bournemouth was convicted by magistrates for displaying a sign which said homosexuality was immoral.

A gentle Christian couple who post Christian leaflets through the letterboxes of their Muslim neighbours were told doing so was a racial crime (although the police later admitted they were wrong to say this). The Bishop of Chester was investigated by the police for saying therapy can help some homosexuals to ‘reorientate’. Two Christian social workers in the North West were forced out of their jobs because they refused to approve of placing children for adoption with homosexual couples.
