近日,英国曼彻斯特的一位主教警告说现代的法律制度歧视并且反对基督教。现代的法律在对待那些信仰基督的人的身上进行了不公正的区别。这是怎么回事,真的是这样吗?我们来看下面的雅思阅读材料。
The Bishop of Winchester, the Rt Rev Michael Scott-Joynt, warned that the death of religious literacy among those who made and administered the law had created an imbalance in the way in which those with faith were treated compared to sexual minorities.
Highlighting the case Gary McFarlane, a relationship counsellor who was sacked by Relate for refusing to give sex therapy to a homosexual couple, he said that the judiciary now went out of its way to protect the rights of minorities.
At the same time, for the first time in British history politicians and judges were largely ignorant of religion and so failed to
appreciate the importance Christians placed on abiding by the scriptures rather than the politically correct values of the secular state.
The Bishops concerns were underlined by Lord Woolf, a former Lord Chief Justice, who agreed that in some legal cases the balance had gone too far in tipping away from Christians.
His words echo recent warnings from other church leaders about what they perceive as attacks on Christianity.
The critique of the Human Rights Act is likely to fuel the criticism of David Cameron for failing to abide by a pre-election
