The European Union (EU) is trying to introduce a new law which could see many of the current threats to Christian liberty in the UK made even worse.

If passed, the new Directive — a law setting out minimum standards for all EU countries to comply with — will outlaw discrimination on grounds including sexual orientation and religion in the provision of goods and services.

Similar ‘goods and services’ discrimination laws in the UK have already caused problems for Christians, but the Directive could introduce further threats to religious freedom.
