Ban ‘pernicious’  prayer – call

Moves to criminalise gay ‘conversion therapy’ are gaining momentum, exposing the potential for restrictions on how Christians respond to individuals struggling with same-sex attraction (SSA).

One activist has even described the power of prayer as ‘pernicious’ and said the reach of the law must be extended to cover it.

Equalities minister Liz Truss has confirmed the government is to accelerate plans to end conversion therapies. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has acknowledged the issues are ‘technically complex’, and three members of the government’s LGBT+ Advisory Panel have recently resigned, saying ministers are insufficiently responsive and are ignorant of the issues.
