Christian Legal Centre and Christian Concern For Our Nation (CCFON) have put together this 20-page leaflet giving advice on evangelism and freedom of speech issues, as they are affected by recent changes in legislation in the UK.

This booklet is designed to give you a clearer idea of your rights and responsibilities when evangelising or speaking about your faith in public or at work. The authors think it is accurate, but it is not legal advice and you should seek the advice of a solicitor if you have any specific queries. Christian Legal Centre, CCFON and CPO will not be held responsible for any inaccuracies in this booklet.
