The government has today launched a public consultation on its plans to ban conversion therapy.
The proposed ban has given rise to fears from Christians about the impact on ordinary church activities, including prayer.
Some Christian campaigners supporting the ban have said legislation should include "gentle non-coercive prayer".
Launching the consultation, Cabinet minister Liz Truss promised that prayer and the teaching of religious beliefs would be protected.
"The policy approach set out below will not impact everyday religious practice," she said.
"An adult who wants to be supported to be celibate will be free to do so, parents will remain able to raise their children with the values of their faith, and simply expressing the teachings of a religion will not constitute conversion therapy.
"The government will continue to work with faith communities to develop an approach that is effective in protecting people from harm, while also respecting the right to freedom of religion and belief."

Sure it won’t.
L
That is RAPE!
To ban "conversion therapy" is to BAN RAPE THERAPY!!
It’s either one or the other; Christianity is protected or Sodomy. You cannot have both.
Ask her to define "everyday religious practice".
LOL
Exactly
And the government will decide what is and what isn’t a religious practice. That’ll work.
I didn’t know it was the government’s job to define “everyday religious practice”.
In China it is but in the UK????
The UK along with Australia are supposed to be some sort of allies of the United States against China?
How can it be under these circumstances?
The next Trump Presidency will have to be be one that comes out swinging against political correctness and tyranny in the “Five Eyes” countries?
Tyranny in general the COVID tyranny in particular.
The British National Health Service recently put to death the brain injured Jewish child Alta Fixsler.
There were two other British children put to death in similar circumstances during the last Trump presidency with concern expressed but no action.
Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom need to shape up or join up with China.
The US won't be fighting China any time in the next 100 years.
The US isn't even going to exist in 100 years.
Exactly.
Gentle . . . Prayer.
Like with the money changers.
