A group of church leaders have written to the new Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, urging him to take care as he considers a ban on conversion practices.
The letter warned of a ‘lack of religious literacy in British public life and the unwarranted hostility this can breed towards those in Bible-believing churches’.
This is evident, the letter said, in ‘the way people talk about a legislative ban on so-called conversion therapy’.
A ban on conversion therapy, also called conversion practices, could outlaw the way churches preach, pray, or pastor people in line with biblical sexual ethics.
