A coalition of 27 faith leaders, alongside Glasgow priest Canon Tom White, had challenged the proportionality of the ban in a legal challenge did what heard on March 11 <\/span><sup><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">th<\/span><\/sup><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> -12 <\/span><sup><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">th<\/span><\/sup><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> . The ruling could prevent similar blanket bans on public worship from being imposed in the future by Holyrood.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">\u201cI&rsquo;m overjoyed to hear that the court has understood the essential need to protect not only the physical and material health of our society but also its spiritual needs and therefore overturned the disproportionate, unnecessary and unlawful blanket ban on public worship. This decision highlights the significance of the church&rsquo;s role in society. Now, we can trust that our fragile and damaged communities will never again be left without the church as a source of hope, comfort, and vital spiritual nourishment in times of crisis. I&rsquo;m grateful to all across Scotland and beyond who have offered their financial support for my case, and who have faithfully prayed with me for church doors to be reopened. Thanks be to God for this wonderful news! \u00a0\u00bb said Canon White, upon learning of the decision.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The government announced a major concession the night before the judgment, stating in parliament that churches would reopen with\u00a0 <\/span><u><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">a cap of 50 worshipers this Friday.<\/span><\/u><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Human rights experts at ADF UK had supported Canon Tom&rsquo;s case with the Let Us Worship campaign.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><b>\u00ab\u00a0An extraordinary abuse of the state&rsquo;s power\u00a0\u00bb<\/b><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Churches had been treated unfairly in comparison to other public places, which had been allowed to open throughout the latest lockdown. Even cinemas have been opened for the purposes of Sheriff Court jury trials.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Arguments were submitted to the Court on the behalf of the Glasgow priest by Aidan O&rsquo;Neill QC, one of Scotland&rsquo;s leading human rights advocates, who called the ban \u00ab\u00a0an extraordinary abuse of the state&rsquo;s power\u00a0\u00bb.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">\u201c[The blanket ban] has a fundamental chilling impact on worship and belief. It requires people in good conscience to choose between God and Caesar, \u00ab\u00a0said Aidan O&rsquo;Neill QC.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><b>Right to freedom of worship upheld<\/b><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The parish priest of St Alphonsus Church in the Calton area of Glasgow had cited his \u201cgrieving\u201d parish as his inspiration for carrying the legal challenge forward, despite facing a sizeable financial burden. Canon White takes a position of pastoral leadership over some of the most economically-deprived communities in the UK. He has appealed to the public to\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/crowdfunding\/freedomforfaith\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">support his legal challenge via Justgiving,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> \u00a0where he has so far raised approximately 35% of his goal. Efforts to cover the costs of the challenge remain ongoing.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Human rights experts from ADF UK, which supported the case, have welcomed the court&rsquo;s decision.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">\u201cWe celebrate this decision with Canon Tom White, because the court has recognized that which the government did not &#8211; that freedom of religion and belief is a human right to be afforded the highest protection. In declaring the ban to be \u201cunlawful\u201d, the court helps ensure that people of faith will not again have their rights erased in this way. We congratulate the Canon and the other faith leaders involved for having the courage to take this necessary challenge forward, and securing protection for churches across Scotland for the future, \u201dsaid Ryan Christopher, Director of ADF UK.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-container brlbs-cmpnt-content-blocker brlbs-cmpnt-with-individual-styles\" data-borlabs-cookie-content-blocker-id=\"youtube-content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-content=\"PGlmcmFtZSB0aXRsZT0iWW91VHViZSB2aWRlbyBwbGF5ZXIiIHNyYz0iaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS1ub2Nvb2tpZS5jb20vZW1iZWQvNHd3Y000Sll3cTQiIHdpZHRoPSI2NDAiIGhlaWdodD0iMzYwIiBmcmFtZWJvcmRlcj0iMCIgYWxsb3dmdWxsc2NyZWVuPSJhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4iPjwvaWZyYW1lPg==\"><div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-preset-c brlbs-cmpnt-cb-youtube\"> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-thumbnail\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/adfinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/borlabs-cookie\/1\/yt_4wwcM4JYwq4_hqdefault.jpg')\"><\/div> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-main\"> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-play-button\"><\/div> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-content\"> <p class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-description\">Vous \u00eates actuellement en train de consulter le contenu d'un espace r\u00e9serv\u00e9 de <strong>YouTube<\/strong>.
