Faith at work: what you need to know
by Roger Kiska, Christian Concern:
Roger Kiska (Christian Legal Centre) provides insight into the rights that Christians have in the workplace as they seek to live biblically faithful lives.
It is becoming increasingly difficult for Christians to live out their faith at work. In a nation rooted in Christian history, with a Monarch who is the titular head of the Church of England, this fact should rightly shock you.
But the reality is, while work culture becomes more ‘progressive’, Christians often find themselves in situations where they must either hold their tongue when confronted with ideological and political activism in the workplace or face the consequences of disciplinary action.
Increasingly, the activism is no longer passive, and Christians are being told that they must act in a certain manner which conflicts with their beliefs or consciences or else be labelled a bigot and suffer the consequences.
Given the situation on the ground, there is reason for concern. Nevertheless, there is a disconnect between this trend of intolerance and discrimination against Christians and what employment and human rights law actually says.
Let’s look at the legal state of play for several increasingly common scenarios for Christians in the workplace.
