Camden Council in the UK has banned a poster from its libraries unless it removes the words ‘Christian’ and ‘God’ from the text. The poster was advertising a talk on climate change.
The Council said it could not allow the poster in its present form because it ‘promoted religion’.
However, a council press release from 2004 declared: “Camden council raises awareness of Islam.”
The talk advertised on the poster was called ‘Climate change is a Christian issue’.
Mike Judge of the Christian Institute described the decision as “ridiculous” and said that it “reveals a problem deep at the heart of too many public bodies. They think it’s ok to trample on Christianity in a way that they would never do with any other religious group.”
The council is rethinking the ban.
