A Guide to Religious Freedom and the Law

This booklet considers areas of the law relating to Religious Freedom and Discrimination, which are of specific interest to Catholic institutions and individual Catholics; in particular the exemptions in Discrimination law which apply to religious organisations in England, Wales and Scotland. The author offers a helpful introductory tour of the key issues and areas to be aware of, primarily for a Catholic audience though it may well be of assistance to members of other religions and Churches since many of the legal questions are common across religious boundaries.

Neil Addison is a practising barrister and specialist in this area on which he has also published (Religious Discrimination and Hatred Law, Routledge). He is National Director of the Thomas More Legal Centre.
