According to the London Telegraph last week, Christian groups in Britain are upset over the position that the government reportedly will take in a group of religious freedom cases pending in the European Court of Human Rights against Britain. Apparently in opposition to the position put forward by Britain's Equality and Human Rights Commission (see prior posting), the government will argue that because it is not a "requirement" of the Christian religion, employers may ban employees from wearing a cross at work.
UPDATE: Despite the position of the Foreign Office is its official response in the case, the Telegraph (3/13) reports that if the European Court rules against the two women who wish to wear a cross at work, Prime Minister Cameron would consider changing the law to allow at least a discreet display of the religious symbol
