Since 2018, we have appeared on mainstream and Christian media to set out our concerns to both the Scottish Government and UK Government on the harms a badly focused and poorly worded policy could have on personal choice and religious freedoms.
In all of our discussions and meetings with ministers and government officials, we have been reassured that any proposals to legislate in this area will protect churches’ freedom to teach and disciple according to the Bible’s teaching on sexual ethics and have been assured that protecting religious freedom and practice is a priority for government, but we remain concerned that proposals could lack clarity.
As of November 2025, the advocacy team await respective government’s plans to legislate (or not) on this issue and are ready to engage once consultation or draft legislation has been published.
To be the first to know of our work on this issue, sign up to our Everything Advocacy newsletter.
The Evangelical Alliance has consistently pressed the UK and Scottish government to honour its twin commitments to ban abusive and coercive practices and to ensure people can receive the spiritual support they choose.
