Planned anti-extremism orders (EDOs) are a disaster area both legally and from a religious perspective, a lawyer and theological college principal said in mid-June.
The Revd Dr Mike Ovey, who leads Oak Hill Theological College and was formerly a Parliamentary draftsman, said that declaring Jesus is the only way to salvation could fall foul of the EDOs.
David Cameron, speaking in May, said the Government will ‘turn the page’ on a ‘passively tolerant society’ which says ‘as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone’. Home Secretary Theresa May was forced to deny that EDOs would catch people who do not support same sex marriage.
