Christians discriminated against, senior bishops warn
Lord Carey called on the government to end its "discrimination"
Senior Church of England Bishops have accused the government of discriminating against Christians while treating other faiths more leniently.
In a letter to the Sunday Telegraph, they claim traditional Christian beliefs are being sidelined.
They highlight the case of an NHS nurse who was moved from front-line duties after refusing to remove her cross.
The government said it was committed to valuing the contribution Christians made within British society.
'Deeply concerned'
Signatories of the letter include the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, and the Bishops of Winchester and Blackburn.
