Robert Innes says proposed translation law could have affect religious freedoms across Europe
The liberties of the centuries-old community of Anglicans in Denmark are being threatened by a draft law requiring all sermons to be translated and submitted to the state, the Church of England’s bishop in Europe has said.
Robert Innes, whose diocese stretches across mainland Europe, has written to the Danish prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, expressing his alarm at what he describes as an “overly restrictive” bind on freedom of expression.

‘Fundamentally intolerable’
Dr Albert Mohler, president of one of the largest evangelical Bible colleges in the US, described the proposed law as something that was almost “unprecedented in modern church history”.
He said: “the Danish government now claims to itself the power to approve or disapprove messages, sermons that would be preached in the pulpits of Denmark”.
Dr Mohler said that such a “violation of religious liberty” was “fundamentally intolerable”, “should be unthinkable” and was “unconditionally wrong”.

Tory (Conservative!) MP lists prayer alongside rape in proposed ‘conversion therapy’ ban
A Conservative MP has listed prayer alongside grotesque acts such as ‘corrective rape’ as she called on the Government to ban so-called conversion therapy.
Writing for The House magazine, Alicia Kearns, MP for Rutland and Melton, said the “fraudulent and abhorrent practice” must be criminalised, as existing laws do not enable prosecution where no physical harm has been caused.
She said any attempt to stop someone from expressing their chosen gender identity or sexual orientation is ‘conversion therapy’, which she said “can range from ‘therapy’ and prayer sessions, to aversive treatments like electroshocks or even ‘corrective’ rape”.
She made it clear that she wants a ban to include parents seeking to protect their children.
She said legislation should include a power for family courts to stop parents from trying to prevent their children being given harmful ‘sex swap’ drugs, and that it should be a legal requirement for people to report “known or suspected cases of ‘conversion’ therapy”.
