Bishop Scott-Joynt told the BBCs World This Weekend: The problem is that there is a really quite widespread perception among Christians that there is growing up something of an imbalance in the legal position with regard to the freedom of Christians and people of other faiths to pursue the calling of their faith in public life, in public service.
Probably for the first time in our history there is a widespread lack of religious literacy among those who one way and another hold power and influence, whether its Parliament or the media or even, dare I say it, in the judiciary.
The risk would be that there are increasingly professions where it could be difficult for people who are devoted believers to work in certain of the public services, indeed in Parliament.
Anybody who is part of the religious community believes that you dont just hold views, you live them. Manifesting your faith is part of having it and not part of some optional bolt-on.
Judgement seemed to be following contemporary society, which seems to think that secularist views are statements of the obvious and religious views are notions in the mind. That is the culture in which we are living.
