The row over the BA check in worker who is not allowed to wear her cross is still going on, recently I read on the internet that this women has lost her appeal against being allowed to wear it, and is going to appeal a second time.
It is amazing, reading on the internet, the number of prominent people who support this women and feel she should be allowed to wear this cross - several MP’s, The Archbishop of York to name but a few.
She is quite right to point out that BA allow Muslims and Sikhs to wear their religious dress when working, so what is the problem with wearing a cross. I believe that companies have to make it fair for everyone, and not stop people of one religion wearing a religious symbol, just because it doesn't fit in with their uniform policy. Therefore BA should allow this women to wear her cross, or ban it’s Muslim employees from wearing a hijab, and it’s Sikh employees from wearing a turban and bangles. I suspect, however, if BA banned a Muslim from wearing a hijab they would be accused of being racists.
It is definitely the time for Christians to stand up for what they believe in, before it is too late.
