Equality Bill

We're relieved along with members of some churches that after the Lords struck out the Equality Bill amendments we can continue to select the people who work in the Community according to our religious beliefs.

Generally, we've always checked people against Deuteronomy 23.  So Maurice the Monophysite is OK, as an Egyptian whose family have worked for mine for more than 3 generations, ever since my great-uncle Brigadier Monty Russell-Fitzroy brought Maurice's grandfather Maurice back at the end of the 2nd world war.  But we won't employ Ammonites, or even Moabites.  You could say we're quite Ruth-less on this one.
