Christians Face Discrimination in Workplace, Say Church Leaders

Almost two thirds of the Church of England General Synod believe Christians are the victims of discrimination in the workplace.

A survey of members of the Church's parliament found that 63 per cent of them felt that Christians faced discrimination at work.

The majority also consider that freedom of belief has been eroded under the Labour government.
