The rejection of flyers by local Christian group at libraries and community centres in Camden follows a growing number of incidents of official disapproval of Christians and Christianity.
They range from the refusal by some local authorities to allow any recognition of Christmas through attempts by police forces to silence activists and authors who oppose the gay rights lobby, to disciplinary action by schools and hospitals against teachers who make their Christianity public or nurses who offer to pray with patients…
Miss Siedlecka said she asked her local library to use its distribution service to put up flyers throughout the borough giving notice of the talks.
‘A lady in a yashmak, a Muslim lady, told me that they could not advocate religions and that they could not promote religious ideas.
‘Then I spoke to officials at the town hall who told me again that they could not promote a religion. They said they would be very happy if it was green, but it could not be Christian.’
