It’s official: Britain is no longer a Christian nation. In banning Eunice and Owen Johns, a devout Christian couple, from fostering children, Lord Justice Munby and Mr Justice Beatson declared that we live in a secular state, and that the Johns’ religious convictions disqualified them from raising citizens of that state. We’ve outgrown Christianity, the judges professed. Instead, we have graduated to the status of a multicultural nation, blessed by a plurality of faiths.
Ironically, the justices who have pronounced that Britain is no longer Christian did so in a court where witnesses swear on the Bible and invoke God’s help in telling the truth. I do not imagine that these judges leave out the first word in “God Save the Queen” – nor would they shun an invitation to the Royal wedding, which is happening not at a registry office but the centrepiece of official Christendom, Westminster Abbey.

Life the spiritual covering of an area and you get devastation, defilement happens. Happens in countries,states, cities and families. You actually bring a spiritual curse on your family line.
Eradicate: To destroy completely; to put an end to.
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, that is.
....but Muslims can still foster kids?
Yeah, lots of folks have tried that. Never worked out well for them. Seems the Lord doesn't like people messing with His bride.
Coming soon to a courthouse near you.

It's really astonishing. I'm reading a book about the history of the King James Bible, In the Beginning. So far it's really a religious history of England. Church and State were one. Maybe that's why our Framers didn't want an official religion here, but still Church and State were one in the mother country.

I agree with you 100%. God has told us this is what happens... it is so predictable for the person who knows Him.
The Telegraph already killed the page...probably at the behest of the the Home Office.
Well, it has been tried before. But, as we will all see soon, Christ wins and everyone will confess the truth.
It still worked for me, so not sure what is happening.
Speaking of the history of the KJV, it’s been 400 years ago this year, since it was translated.
An article or blog on this last night indicated that the reasoning given by the judge would, applied evenly, mean that ALL Bible-believing Christian parents in England are now subject to having their children stripped from them because of their beliefs. This goes a lot further than simply foster parents being barred from caring for a child.
1) Apparently Christianity isn't one of the acceptable "plurality of faiths".
2) Isn't this where the community-organizer-in-chief and other liberlistas want to take America?
Are the sodomites allowed to adopt?
