Faith Under Fire: Emerging Threat to Biblical Free Speech Challenges Christians to Stand Strong
Faith Facts
- House of Lords debates amendments to scrap non-crime hate incidents in Crime and Policing Bill.
- Lord Young’s bold proposal abolishes NCHI recording, deletes historic records, bars them from DBS checks.
- 13,200 NCHIs logged yearly, ensnaring vicars, doctors, even children, chilling Gospel proclamation.
Peers face a pivotal vote to end non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) that threaten free speech rooted in biblical truth.
Critics decry their chilling effect, as unproven complaints stain innocent lives and hinder Christian witness.
Scottish pastor Angus Cameron endured wrongful arrest over a ‘hate-crime’ despite no offense, facing a permanent NCHI log.
He won £5,500 compensation plus £9,400 costs through The Christian Institute’s support.
Government concedes NCHI system ‘not fit for purpose,’ launching review for stronger speech safeguards.
Simon Calvert, Deputy Director at The Christian Institute, urges total abolition.
“It’s shocking to think that for years we’ve had a system where Police have been able to record unproven, politically motivated complaints against Christians and others.”
“These malicious allegations of being ‘hateful’ could seriously impact a person’s career prospects.”
“It’s Orwellian and it’s way past time not only for that system to be abolished but for all of the erroneous information held against innocent people to be deleted.”
“The House of Lords has an opportunity to get rid of non-crime hate incident once and for all and I hope they take it.”
Pray fervently for peers to champion faith, family freedoms—abolish these ungodly records now!

- Christians believe every unborn child bears the image of God and deserves protection under law.
- Virginia voters will decide this November whether to enshrine abortion as a constitutional right.
- Scripture teaches believers to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Virginia voters face a pivotal November decision on whether to place abortion in the state constitution. Pastors across the commonwealth are being urged to speak clearly from the pulpit rather than remain silent on the issue.
Christian leaders emphasize that the measure would permanently enshrine abortion as a constitutional right. They argue that such a change would remove protections for unborn children and limit future legislative efforts to safeguard life.
“For Christians who believe the unborn child bears the image of God, silence is not neutrality.”
Many pastors are preparing messages that connect biblical teaching on the sanctity of life with the upcoming ballot question. Churches are also organizing voter education efforts to ensure congregants understand the amendment’s potential consequences.
