Lawyers' Christian Fellowship on Sexual Orientation Regulations

The Lawyers' Christian Fellowship on the Sexual Orientation Regulations, which will come up for the final vote in the House of Lords on Wednesday.

Posted: Tuesday, March 20, 2007, 15:15 (GMT)

WHERE WERE CHRISTIANS WHEN THE ABORTION ACT WAS PASSED IN 1967? SINCE THEN 7 MILLION UNBORN CHILDREN HAVE BEEN ABORTED

WHERE WERE CHRISTIANS when 'NO FAULT DIVORCE' was passed by parliament IN 1996?

WHERE WERE CHRISTIANS WHEN THE ADOPTION ACT 2002 LEGALISED SAME-SEX ADOPTION?

WHERE WERE CHRISTIANS WHEN THE CIVIL PARTNERSHIPS ACT 2004 PUT HOMOSEXUAL RELATIONSHIPS ON THE SAME FOOTING AS MARRIAGE?

WHERE WILL YOU BE ON WEDNESDAY 21ST MARCH 2007 WHEN THE SEXUAL ORIENTATION REGULATIONS ARE VOTED ON IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MAKING IT ILLEGAL TO REFUSE TO PROMOTE HOMOSEXUAL PRACTICES?

JOIN THE PRAYER VIGIL OUTSIDE PARLIAMENT ON THE 21ST MARCH (DETAILS BELOW)

House of Lords: Wednesday 21 March 2007

PLEASE COME TO A PRAYER VIGIL OUTSIDE PARLIAMENT AT OLD PALACE YARD (the square opposite the St Stephen's entrance to the House of Lords) ON WEDNESDAY 21ST MARCH FROM 7 TO 9PM WHEN THE FINAL VOTE ON THE SEXUAL ORIENTATION REGULATIONS WILL BE TAKEN. WE PRAY FOR A MIRACLE NEXT WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER, WHATEVER THE OUTCOME IT IS VITAL THAT HISTORY RECORDS CHRISTIANS STANDING FOR TRUTH TO THE VERY END OF THE PARLIAMENTARY PROCESS.

THIS DEBATE NEXT WEDNESDAYIS THE CRUCIAL DEBATE. I BELIEVE IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO PERSUADE PEERS OF THE LACK OF DEMOCRATIC PROCESS IN BRINGING IN THE SORS AND TO PERSUADE THEM OF GENUINE CONCERNS REGARDING THE CLASH OF FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN FREEDOMS.

For either one or both of these reasons we encourage all Christians who have any contact with a member of the House of Lords, or who can locate a member who lives in their area (see the link to the 'How to Lobby' sheet, below), to contact them (by letter, email or telephone) and explain the issues involved. PLEASE ASK THEM TO BE PRESENT IN THE CHAMBER NEXT WEDNEDAY AND TO VOTE FOR BARONESS O'CATHAIN'S MOTION NOT TO APPROVE THE SORS (Please see texts below of the Government's motion to approve and Baroness O'Cathain's motion to decline.

Please note that 21 days notice is required to use amplification outside Parliament so it is very unlikely we will be able to obtain permission for such use at the prayer vigil. We intend to use this occasion to make a solemn, prayerful stand for Truth in this Nation.

The idea that kids need to be protected from the Bible is an insult...
