The Evangelical Alliance wrote to the prime minister on Monday, 15 March 2021 outlining how current proposals being considered by the Government on conversion therapy could pose a direct threat to religious liberty and restrict personal freedoms. The prime minister has responded, acknowledging our concerns and the Government’s commitment to allow pastoral support (including prayer) and desire not to criminalise normal non-coercive activities. The prime minister also thanked member churches for all that they have contributed during the pandemic, highlighting his recent visit to a pop-up vaccination centre at Jesus House church in Brent, north-west London. We will continue to work with the Government to honour its commitments to end harmful practices while protecting spiritual support.
