Premier Media Group and The Lawyer’s Christian Fellowship have delivered a message against the Racial and Religious Hatred Bill to British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

The two organisations received permission to deliver their statements of objection regarding the Racial and Religious Hatred Bill to Prime Minister Tony Blair yesterday – the same day the bill was debated in the House of Lords.

Premier Media Group and The Lawyers’ Christian Fellowship have openly stated their concerns about the Bill which could affect Christians legitimately proclaiming their faith if passed.

Chief Executive of Premier Media Group, the Reverend Peter Kerridge stated in his letter to the Prime Minister, Tony Blair: “Many Christian organisations, including Premier Media Group are concerned that if the Racial and Religious Hatred Bill is passed in its current form, the Bill will create a barrier to open communication on religious issues and endanger an individual’s right to freedom of speech.” Story
