French evangelicals face tough curbs

Keith Butler

Christians in France are warning that a Bill passed in the Senate could see religious freedom significantly restricted.

Commonly referred to as the ‘Anti-separatism law’, the legislation was proposed by President Emmanuel Macron last year in the aftermath of a terror attack in Paris.

The Bill seeks to fight radical Islamism by controlling the content being taught in mosques, and putting tighter restrictions on foreign funding and home schooling. A revised and toughened version of the Bill was recently passed by 208 to 109 votes.
