Hate Crime Bill in the U. K.

U. K. Christians dodged a bullet but it was close. The measure was defeated by only one vote.

British Evangelicals on Tuesday celebrated the defeat of segments of the Racial and Religious Hatred Bill that they say could have criminalized Christians for preaching Biblical values...

In the past few months, Evangelicals worked to defeat the bill, persuading MPs to vote against the proposed legislation and rallying Christians to speak out against the bill. Evangelicals warned that the original law would have restricted the freedom of speech for all individuals, including Christians who preach about scriptural teachings on Islam or homosexuality.

Comments from those from the U. K. stopping in for the Sproul postings would be appreciated.
