Who’s driving the agenda
in schools? Stonewall or Jesus?
Write to the Archbishop of Canterbury
Archbishop
of Canterbury
The Archbishop of Canterbury this week
unveiled new guidance on ‘challenging
homophobic bullying’ in church schools. He
also gave an interview to Pink News. According
to the organisation, which describes itself as
‘Europe’s largest gay news services’, it is
the first time that a Primate of the Anglican
Church has given an interview to a ‘gay media
publication’.
“As you know I have said, and got a fair
amount of flak for it within parts of the
Church, we have to accept, and quite
rightly, that the same-sex marriage act is
law, and that it’s right and proper, it’s
the law of the land, and that’s great” Archbishop
Welby told Pink News, according to their
article here.
The guidance on ‘challenging homophobic
bullying’, which is to be sent all Church of
England schools, begins by quoting the
Archbishop: “The Church is not changing
its teaching on gay relationships but we
must accept that there is a revolution in
the area of sexuality.” The report goes
on to recommend that schools should recognise
a category of ‘homophobic bullying’ in their
anti-bullying strategies.
It defines homophobic bullying as “bullying
on the basis of actual or perceived sexual
orientation or gender identity.” However,
no attempt is made to explain whether ‘sexual
orientation’ means same-sex attraction,
same-sex activity or the embrace of
a so-called sexual identity. Homophobic
bullying could therefore include any
opposition to same-sex sexual activity. For
example, the report suggests ‘Pupils may also
experience indirect homophobic abuse, not
directed towards a particular person or group
but used when remarks are made to pass some
kind of negative judgement”.
The
full report can be read here >
Responding, Andrea Williams, CEO of Christian
Concern said: "What does the Archbishop of
Canterbury think he is doing? Is he aware
that he is playing into the hands of a
militant, gay lobby group which has no qualms
in targeting Christians and forcing them out
of their jobs. When is he going to stand up
for the Christians who have been bullied and
punished for speaking of Jesus in modern
Britain?
“This new guidance for Church schools is very
dangerous. It is another step towards both
normalising homosexual behaviour and also
creating a climate of fear that discourages
people from speaking the truth about God’s
good pattern of heterosexual marriage as the
one proper place for sexual activity. No
caring person can be immune from the pain in
society that flows from rejecting God’s
beautiful gift of marriage. It’s tragic that
instead of encouraging Church schools to have
the confidence to speak clearly of God’s
pattern for relationships, this report, backed
by the Archbishop of Canterbury, only adds to
the confusing voices to which children are
exposed, by introducing a false category.
“Christians know that all people are created
in God’s image and are loved by Him. All
bullying should be opposed. But that does not
require the creation of a false category of
‘homophobic bullying’ that suggests that there
is legitimacy to homosexual activity. To
encourage children to think that homosexual
activity is valid does not protect them from
what is oppressive.”
Please contact the Archbishop of Canterbury

You may wish to make the following points in
your message:
What does the Archbishop of Canterbury
think he is doing? Is he aware that he is
playing into the hands of a militant, gay
lobby group which has no qualms in targeting
Christians and forcing them out of their
jobs. When is he going to stand up for the
Christians who have been bullied and
punished for speaking of Jesus in modern
Britain?
Ask the Archbishop why homosexual rights
group Stonewall is mentioned more frequently
in the report than Jesus Christ.
In light of the Pink News report, ask him
to clarify whether he meant that the
introduction of same-sex marriage was
‘great’. Ask him to clarify whether he still
believes that it is God’s will and purpose
that life-long, exclusive union between one
man and one woman is the only proper place
for sexual expression.
The ‘Valuing All God’s Children’ guidance
states that “Church of England Schools have
at their heart a belief that all children
are loved by God, are individually unique
and that the school has a mission to help
each pupil to fulfil their potential in all
aspects of their personhood … Schools have a
duty to try to remove any factor that might
represent a hindrance to a child’s
fulfilment.”
God’s loving pattern is that the only
proper place for sexual activity is within
lifelong, exclusive, heterosexual marriage.
This is the pattern that Jesus himself
recognises in Matthew 19. All other sexual
activity is sinful. As Jesus makes clear
(John 8) sin brings slavery. It is the truth
that sets people free.
Ask the Archbishop whether he believes
that all sexual activity outside lifelong,
exclusive, heterosexual marriage is
enslaving. Ask him why he hasn’t encouraged
Church Schools to be bolder and clearer
about speaking of God’s pattern for sexual
ethics but instead backed guidance that will
lead to greater confusion amongst children
about the validity of homosexual behaviour.
Ask him whether he believes this is
consistent with a school’s mission to ‘help
each pupil to fulfil their potential’ and
the school’s duty to ‘remove any factor that
might represent a hindrance to a child’s
fulfilment’.
Ask the Archbishop to re-think the report,
to prevent it from being sent to schools and
to clarify publicly his backing for God’s
pattern for marriage.
The Church of England is in effect
surrendering its ethical guidance to a gay
lobby group – Stonewall – which is wholly
opposed to Christian teaching.
How will you vote? Quiz
the European Candidates
Thank you to those who have
already used our simple ‘Quiz
the Candidates’ tool to contact
candidates in next week’s European elections
from the bigger parties. We estimate that over
10,000 emails have already been sent – but
it’s not too late to take part here. It
only takes a few moments.
We are sorry that a few people have
experienced problems with the tool when using
certain internet browsers. We have made some
changes and hopefully solved most of the
problems but if you have any difficulties,
please let us know.
It is worth contacting the candidates – and
following up any responses that you receive:
Even if you don’t receive a
response, sending an email helps
the candidates to know what issues
are important to potential voters
– and these concerns may be fed back to
party HQs too.
Some candidates may express frustration
about receiving lots of similar emails.
However, sending a pre-prepared email is
perfectly valid if it genuinely expresses
things that matter to you. The candidates
will often use pre-prepared or generic
responses themselves so there is no reason
why Christians shouldn’t pool resources,
especially given that life is busy. Of
course, you can amend the standard text or
write your own email if you have time – and
our tool allows you to do that – but
it would be better to send something (even
if it is pro-forma) than not to send
anything.
When a candidate responds, reply
to them if at all possible – at
least to say thank you for replying but also
to engage them in discussion on the issues
if you can. Please be gracious and
respectful.
Look carefully at the candidate’s response
– some appear to ignore some of the
questions, so it may be worth picking this
up in responses.
Some candidates may say that some of the
issues you have raised are not ‘EU
competencies’ – i.e. they are
outside areas on which the EU can determine
policy or legislation. However, it is not
always as straightforward as this. Take the
‘One of Us’ initiative as an example.
Legislation governing research on tiny human
lives (embryos) is outside EU control.
However, the EU currently funds a
lot of the embryo research that takes place
within Europe. If this funding were removed
(as ‘One of Us’ seeks, it would have a huge
impact in practice. Secondly, it is
perfectly valid for you to ask candidates
where they stand on key ethical and moral
issues even if these are not direct EU
competencies. They can refuse to tell you
but you are entitled to take that into
account as you vote. They are seeking to be
your representatives in Europe, it
is perfectly valid for you to know more
about their ethical framework, especially
since this may influence how they vote in
different areas.
Some candidates may suggest that the ‘Equal
Treatment Directive’ is historic
and irrelevant. However, the Directive was
approved by the European Parliament in 2009
and although blocked by the Council of
Ministers, it (or something similar to it)
could be revived. In February 2014, the
Lunacek report was approved by the European
Parliament. It called for the Equal
Treatment Directive to be adopted but with
extended provisions that would be even more
problematic. There have also been recent
calls to draw up provisions against ‘hate
speech’ and ‘hate crime’ which would be
problematic for freedom of speech and
religion. So it is important to highlight
these things to the candidates, ensuring
that they are aware of the significant
dangers and are committed to opposing them.
Some candidates may express surprise that
you have concerns about ‘anti-discrimination’
and ‘human rights’ measures and
suggest that these protect Christians. In
response, why not point to the experiences
of Christians such as – Sarah
Mbuyi, Celestina
Mba, Shirley
Chaplin, Gary
McFarlane, Jeff
and Sue Green, Andrew
McClintock, Lesley
Pilkington and other
clients of the Christian Legal Centre?
By sending the candidates some
links to Christian Legal Centre cases
you will help to educate the
candidates about the way that ‘equality’
legislation is working in practice.
Please forward to us
responses that you receive from the
candidates so that we can build up a
national picture.

Promoting pro-family and
pro-life policies in the European Elections
In
addition to using our own ‘Quiz
the Candidates’ tool here you
can also point candidates to two European-wide
pledges.
Novae Terrae’s Pledge for Europe
is available here
and articulates support for life, family and
freedom. You can join over 50,000 others in
signing it yourself here but
also point candidates to it.
The ‘Vote for the Family 2014’
initiative provides a pro-family Manifesto for
the European Elections and is available here.
So far, over 160 candidates across Europe have
signed it – but only 1 from the UK. You could
point candidates to it or send them a copy.
Care for Europe have created a web site to
empower Christians to engage meaningfully in
the forthcoming 22 May elections. Among other
things it provides information about key
election issues, suggested questions to put to
candidates, information about church election
hustings and interviews with MEPs and
candidates. You can access the website here

Speaking up for unborn
children in Europe
The
‘One of Us’ campaign seeks to ban European
funding for research that involves the
destruction of tiny human lives. So far, it
has been the most successful European Citizens
Initiative in history, with over 1.7 million
signatures verified. Many Christian Concern
supporters joined the effort – thank you!
Unsurprisingly, the initiative has received
considerable opposition from pro-abortion
Members of the European Parliament, from
well-funded pro-death groups such as
International Planned Parenthood Foundation
and from
our Conservative-led Coalition Government.
Now you can join thousands of others in
sending an email to the European Commission
urging a positive response to the ‘One of Us’
Petition.

Poll finds ‘gay marriage’
will seriously damage the Conservative vote
next week
Three
in ten voters say David Cameron’s decision to
introduce ‘gay marriage’ means they will not
vote Conservative in the local and European
next week.
More than 2,000 people were polled by ComRes
which found widespread scepticism about the
Prime Minister’s motives for redefining
marriage. Six in ten said they believed he
pushed for same-sex marriage to make the
Conservative Party look trendy.
And the survey shows that introducing same-sex
marriage not only upset older voters but young
people too - nearly one in four
18-24-year-olds cited ‘gay marriage’ as their
reason for not voting Conservative in the
upcoming European elections.
The ComRes poll:
• Predicts a UKIP win in the Euro
elections, with a scrap between Labour and the
Conservatives for second place.
• Unveils a widespread scepticism about the
PM’s motives for introducing gay marriage. Six
in ten people believe the Prime Minister
introduced same-sex marriage to make the
Conservative Party look trendy.
• Shows that over half of those surveyed
don’t believe that Mr Cameron has the
determination and power to block any proposals
from Europe which would undermine our
freedoms.
• Demonstrates that introducing same-sex
marriage not only irked older voters but young
people too, with nearly one in four 18-24
year-olds citing it as reason for not voting
Conservative in the upcoming European
elections.

Mass Prayer Vigil in
support of the safe return of abducted
Nigerian schoolgirls
Nigerian Church leaders in the UK are calling
on all Christians to support a mass Prayer
Vigil in Westminster on Monday 19th May 2014
between 7.00pm – 9.00pm to pray for the safe
release of the schoolgirls abducted in Nigeria
a month ago.
The event, which will be held at Emmanuel
Centre 9-23 Marsham Street, Westminster,
London SW1P 3DW, has the endorsement of The
National Day of Prayer and Worship, The
Overseas Fellowship of Nigerian Christians,
Christian Concern, International Strategic
Alliance Committee.
Nigerian Church Leaders have united to condemn
the situation as ‘deeply serious’ and called
on the Nigerian Government to ensure that no
one should be forced into any form of
religious conversion.
Pastor Jonathan Oloyede, Convenor of the
National Day of Prayer and Worship and who
will be involved in the event on Monday, in
statement said: “We earnestly call on
Christians everywhere to come and pray for the
Chibok kidnapped schoolgirls, their families
and Nigeria!
Speaking in advance of the Prayer Vigil on
Monday, Event Spokesman and Director of
Christian Concern, Pastor Ade Omooba added: “I
would urge all Church and Community Leaders to
make this vital Prayer Vigil known to their
congregations and networks as we unite to
support distressed and dislocated families and
communities in Borno State, Maiduguri and
surrounding towns. We are called to pray for
comfort to all family members in anguish,
shock and distress over the fate of their
girls. We will pray for the Nigerian
government and all supporting foreign
countries to deploy all necessary resources to
find these young people.
Christian Concern has donated administration
in support of the Nigerian church to enable
every penny of donations to reach the hands of
ordinary suffering Nigerians in the region.

Call to action: please
petition PM to order identification of halal
meat
Andrea Williams
explains
why we should be concerned
about the hidden use of
halal meat (2m 10s) >
Last week, it emerged that a large number of
high street restaurants and supermarkets are
selling ritually slaughtered meat to customers
without making this clear on their packaging.
Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders have
called for clear labelling of halal meat after
the disclosure that the restaurant chain,
Pizza Express, exclusively uses a halal
supplier for its chicken dishes. Other chains
including Domino’s, GBK, Nando’s, KFC, Ask and
Slug & Lettuce have also disclosed they
serve halal food.
Please support the petition to David
Cameron, launched by Christian Concern and
hosted by CitizenGo, asking him to ensure
that all food which is ritually slaughtered
(e.g. halal) to be served or sold in
restaurants, shops, schools, hospitals,
prisons and other outlets, is clearly
labelled so that customers are made aware.

Concerns over mega mosque
campaigner’s Tory candidacy
Alan
Craig
Director, MegaMosqueNoThanks
Deep concerns have been expressed that a
London Islamist leader, who wants to build the
biggest mosque in Europe, is standing in local
council elections as a Tory candidate, having
had no previous connections with the
Conservative party.
Mufti Shah Sadruddin, who’s been campaigning
for a 12,000 capacity mega-mosque near
Britain’s Olympic Stadium, is also known to be
a supporter of Respect MP, George Galloway,
and openly promotes sharia law and the
practices of Islamic states.
The fundamentalist Islamic sect, Tablighi
Jamaat, has appealed against Newham Council’s
decision to reject its application for an
extension of their use of the current mosque
site, in order to extend its capacity from
2,500 to 12,000.
Director of the campaign group,
MegaMosqueNoThanks, Alan Craig, warns that the
issue will become highly political when it
goes before the Communities Secretary, Eric
Pickles, for the final decision later this
year.
“The issue will then become immersed in the
pre-election party politics ahead of next
May's General Election, and it is matter of
concern that a number of hard-line supporters
of Respect's George Galloway and of the
mega-mosque plan, are infiltrating Eric
Pickles' Tory Party locally,” says Alan.

Islamic state sentences
pregnant Sudanese doctor to hang for being a
Christian
A pregnant Sudanese doctor has been sentenced
to death by hanging after refusing to renounce
her Christian faith.
Meriam Ibrahim Ishag, aged 26, was born to a
Muslim father and married a Christian man in
2011. She has been convicted of apostasy but
told the Sudanese court, "I am a Christian and
I never committed apostasy."
In the Islamic state a child must follow the
father's religion. Meriam is eight months
pregnant and has an 18-month-old son. Her
sentence includes 100 lashes before she is to
be hanged.
The British, United States, Canadian and
Netherlands Embassies have issued a joint
statement expressing "deep concern" about the
case.
“It is abhorrent to contemplate the hanging
and lashing of a pregnant woman simply because
she chooses to follow Jesus. The spread of
sharia law is a threat to freedom of religious
belief and freedom of speech for all of us and
we must resist it wherever it occurs,” says
Andrea Williams of Christian Concern.

Update on critical call
for funding
Andrea
Williams
Dear
friends and supporters,
I am writing to you with deep gratitude
for the overwhelming response we have
received to our critical call for funding.
Our immediate deficit has been closed
already by your faithful giving and we are
humbled, amazed and in awe of the Lord
Jesus. For those of you who have
responded, my heartfelt thanks. Many of
you have written and shared that you pray
for us regularly; for this I am also
enormously grateful.
Regular committed giving makes up only a
third of our income. We desperately need
more partners to establish us firmly and
help us plan wisely for the future. We’re
a faith-filled ministry rising to the
tasks the Lord sets before us to do; we never
turn away a Christian in genuine
difficulties for their faith because we
can’t afford to take on their case.
Our reality
remains that every month the needs of the
work grow and the requests for support,
guidance and legal assistance rise unabated.
Our goal remains to cover much of the
ongoing costs of the organisation through
regular committed giving. We are making
progress but there is still a long way to
go!
Many of you responded to help us to
stabilise our core costs - by establishing a
Direct Debit or Standing Order of £5 per
month. Thank you so much. This is the
long-term foundational commitment that will
make the difference. This is partnering
together for His Name and the proclamation
of the hope that is found in Jesus Christ
alone.
If you have not yet responded to our call
will you do so now?
We are standing in the gap - thank you
for standing with us!
