Dear Sir,

You are right to highlight on the November en front page the consequence of Extremism Disruption Orders and the serious possibility of the Government using the Charity Commission to remove the trustees of Christian charities. You mentioned schools, but it will also include any church whose pastor, teachers, or trustees are judged extremists for opposing the Cameron-con of ‘so called’ British Values: be they the promotion of Darwinianism, destruction of God’s marriage, godly sexuality, or even our Protestant monarchy.

Think through the consequences of a firm of accountants being put in to administer a church even for a short period. If its pastor is removed, the members cease to attend and give and the accountants pay themselves, it will haemorrhage funds and not survive long.
