The “Conversion Practices” bill would essentially make voicing a Christian view on sexuality / marriage / gender impossible

The bill is NOT fit for purpose in a UK which claims to be “tolerant” and “inclusive” 🇬🇧👇👇👇

A parent or pastor who quoted Jesus' own words to encourage someone to 'deny yourself' - which every Christian must do - because 'Jesus died for you', would be breaking the law.

[Matthew Roberts @MPWRoberts]

Jayne Ozanne has demonstrated that the 'Conversion Practices' bill would criminalise the teaching of core Christian doctrines.

She stated that 'words' such as 'deny yourself' and 'Jesus died for you' are abusive and caused her serious alarm and distress. /

Watch Jayne Ozanne, founder and former chair of the Ban Conversion Practices Coalition, repeatedly brand prayer ‘abusive’ and argue for its criminalisation under a conversion practices ban 👇

[Matthew Roberts @MPWRoberts]

/ To be clear, both are central Christian teachings, taught by Jesus himself. And 'serious alarm and distress' is the bill's test for what words are criminal.

[Dennis Noel Kavanagh @Jebadoo2]

For Akua Reindorf KC and Baroness Falkner to reach this conclusion is shocking.

Labour MPs need to take this seriously.

The conversion bill is so poorly drafted it could be declared incompatible with basic human rights.

That would be extraordinary for modern legislation.

Surely Christians aren't in danger of forgetting to worship Christ? You might not think so, but...

My column in this month's @EvangelicalsNow .

[Evangelicals Now @EvangelicalsNow]

"Now that might sound like a statement of is-the-sky-blue obviousness. But bear with me; because this is something which we are far more prone to forgetting that we might realise."

Pastor at Christ Church Haywards Heath Graham Nicholls reacts to Dame Sarah Mullally enthroned as the new Archbishop of Canterbury.

An article of mine from 2018 just reposted by @Tabletalk. It's about how secularism treats 'freedom' as a deity - and Christians in a secular society can often slide into doing the same without realising it.

The story of now is the story of the risen Christ calling people to turn from idols to serve the living and true God. —Matthew P.W. Roberts (@MPWRoberts) https://t.co/oQtf66lCTT

"Thought was for it a device necessary to certain ends, but thought in itself did not interest it. It assumed reason as externally and inorganically as it had assumed Weston's body." /

CS Lewis on meeting AI in Perelandra:
"Indeed no imagined horror could have surpassed the sense which grew within him as the slow hours passed, that this creature was, by all human standards, inside out - its heart on the surface and its shallowness at its heart... /

The outlines of a Christian theology of AI are pretty simple I think:

1. humanity are animals distinguished by rationality (real knowledge and free agency) teleology (communion with God by knowing and loving him).

[Matthew Roberts @MPWRoberts]

"Ransom soon perceived that it regarded intelligence simply and solely as a weapon, which it had no more wish to employ in its off-duty hours than a soldier has to do bayonet practice when he is on leave... /

“Since the redefinition of marriage a decade ago, we’ve seen the consequences: parenthood treated as replaceable, and children deprived of the unique love and guidance only a mother and father can provide.”

If you are in church ministry, training for ministry, or discerning a call to it, consider coming to this event next Saturday 24th January.

Christ governs his Church through his ministers. How should that work and why does it matter?
