Open Letter to UK Prime Minister on Vaccine Passport Proposals
In July 2021, the Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi at different points announced the introduction in September of vaccine passports for nightclubs and “other crowded venues”.
We have thus decided to re-open this letter for further signatures and we intend to resend it to the Prime Minister and to all Members of Parliament in order to underline our opposition to this scheme. If you are a leader in a church or a Christian organisation and you have not yet signed, please consider adding your name. Please also consider sharing this letter on your social media channels and in any other appropriate ways. Thank you.
Please Note: Signatories have to be checked and inputted manually. This takes time so please be patient as you wait for your name to appear on the signatory list.
To: The Prime Minister Boris Johnson
April, 2021
Dear Prime Minister,
As Christian leaders across a range of denominations, we continue to pray at this time for your government “and all in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity” (1 Timothy 2:2).
However, we write to you concerning an area of the most serious concern, namely the potential introduction into our society of so-called “vaccine passports” which have also been referred to as “COVID-status certificates” and “freedom passes”. We are wholly opposed to this suggestion and wish to make three points about the potential consideration of any scheme of this type.
Firstly, to make vaccination the basis of whether someone is allowed entry to a venue, or participation in an activity, makes no logical sense in terms of protecting others. If the vaccines are highly effective in preventing significant disease, as seems to be the evidence from trial results to date, then those who have been vaccinated have already received protection; there is no benefit to them of other people being vaccinated. Further, since vaccines do not prevent infection per se even a vaccinated person could in theory carry and potentially pass on the virus, so to decide someone’s “safe non-spreader” status on the basis of proof of their immunity to disease is spurious.
Secondly, the introduction of vaccine passports would constitute an unethical form of coercion and violation of the principle of informed consent. People may have various reasons for being unable or unwilling to receive vaccines currently available including, for some Christians, serious issues of conscience related to the ethics of vaccine manufacture or testing. We risk creating a two-tier society, a medical apartheid in which an underclass of people who decline vaccination are excluded from significant areas of public life. There is also a legitimate fear that this scheme would be the thin end of the wedge leading to a permanent state of affairs in which COVID vaccine status could be expanded to encompass other forms of medical treatment and perhaps even other criteria beyond that. This scheme has the potential to bring about the end of liberal democracy as we know it and to create a surveillance state in which the government uses technology to control certain aspects of citizens’ lives. As such, this constitutes one of the most dangerous policy proposals ever to be made in the history of British politics.
Finally, as Christian leaders we wish to state that we envisage no circumstances in which we could close our doors to those who do not have a vaccine passport, negative test certificate, or any other “proof of health”. For the Church of Jesus Christ to shut out those deemed by the state to be social undesirables would be anathema to us and a denial of the truth of the Gospel. The message we preach is given by God for all people and consists in nothing other than the free gift of grace offered in Christ Jesus, with the universal call to repentance and faith in him. To deny people entry to hear this life-giving message and to receive this life-giving ministry would be a fundamental betrayal of Christ and the Gospel. Sincere Christian churches and organisations could not do this, and as Christian leaders we would be compelled to resist any such Act of Parliament vigorously.
We draw your attention to the recent Judicial Review overturning the Scottish Government’s ban on public worship, which demonstrates that such disproportionate prevention of the right to worship is a clear infringement under Article 9 of the European Convention of Human Rights. We cannot see how any attempt to prevent people gathering for worship on the basis of either testing or non-vaccination would not similarly be ruled to be a breach. We agree with those members of Parliament who have already voiced opposition to this proposal: that it would be divisive, discriminatory and destructive to introduce any such mandatory health certification into British society. We call on the government to assert strongly and clearly that it will not contemplate this illiberal and dangerous plan, not now and not ever.
Yours sincerely,
- Rev Dr William JU Philip, Minister, The Tron Church Glasgow, Scotland
- Rev David Johnston, Minister Emeritus, Presbyterian Church in Ireland, Ireland
- Rev Dr Jamie Franklin, Curate, Church of England, Nottingham, England
- Rev A Paul Levy, Minister, Ealing International Presbyterian Church, London, England

So what’s so special about Christians? I believe that all true Christian will agree that this letter should be sent on behalf of us all, Christians, Muslims, heathens, etc, and therefore should constitute a petition to government on behalf of the people of Great Britain.
To exclude non Christians from this protest is not just prejudicial, it is a missed opportunity to express the extent of dissatisfaction felt in the general public on this issue.
Let’s force a parliamentary debate.

A noble comment Ken, but even considering what is at stake, It would be heresy for the leaders to engage the company of pagans, or “non-believers”.

Tories have long held the Christian vote in the UK. If they lose that vote, a new party rises.
They should lose that vote, we should have a very different kind of party.

“since vaccines do not prevent infection per se even a vaccinated person could in theory carry and potentially pass on the virus, so to decide someone’s “safe non-spreader” status on the basis of proof of their immunity to disease is spurious.”
That ‘s the problem. It’s all bs that does not help us. We must come the core of the giant fraud.
It’s more important then ever that the people understand the basic facts so that they can argue in adequate manner.
Everyone, vaxxed and unvaxxed, should watch the Spacebusters video “Germs Debunk Corona” – https://odysee.com/@spacebusters:c9/Germs-Debunk-corona:1
!!!! This video debunks the whole corona bs “science” and large parts of the modern medical bs “science” in general. !!!!
Watch also all of Dr. Stefan Lanka’s videos ( https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Dr.+Stefan+Lanka ) with Dr. Kaufman and Dr. Cowan and read his articles at http://www.wissenschafftplus.de
More also in my blog post “The fraudulent Covid foundation in a single video: viruses, mutations / variants, infections, (PCR) tests, incidences, immunity, herd immunity and germ theory ” – https://coronistan.blogspot.com/2021/08/der-ganze-virus-mutationen-varianten.html

We cannot reason with Terrorists especially those who are far from being “Christian” and who have Sold / Privatised their own Citizens to Big Pharma, to be used as Guinea Pigs / Lab Rats in Human DNA Experiments with a view to Extermination.
They simply do not want to know. Their don’t know us and don’t want to know us. They detest us with a passion, see us as lower than the filthiest pond scum ever to have ever taken a breath, when it is They who meet that criteria and quite simply, want us ALL Dead.
Besides, the Pope, “Their” Archbishop of Canterbury, as well as the Head of the Church of England’s Lizard Queen against you. Against us ALL, actually.
And look where Christians have ended up. Putting Politics ahead of the Church, which has been going on for Centuries anyway. How many Christians “Believe” our World is a “Globe”, which is mentioned nowhere in Any Scripture, other than possibly, the Church of Scientology and the Church of Satan(?)? Going DIRECTLY against “Creation” itself. The BIGGEST SIN EVER? They really paid attention there, did they not?
Also, it is quite obvious that the Governments of Occupation are firmly set to make sure that they play out the “Script” of Revelation, right to fruition, tricking as many as possible into accepting the Mark of the Beast, which is happening with Everything “Covid”, but moreso with the Injections, which are laced with a chemical called “Luciferase”, have 060606 as one of Billy Goats of Hell’s Patents. 6ft 6in for 6 weeks / months (I forget).
It cannot be made up and they are quite open about it. I mean, look at all their fabricated Earth / Space statisics – ALL are “666” . 23.4 degree axial tilt is 66.6 degrees off being 90 degrees / upright and it doesn’t stop there. Rob Skiba explains far better than I can.
I don’t mean to put a downer on your idea, but they are looking to wipe out Religion anyway. The Pope’s words attest to it and, keep in mind that they refuse to give the time of day to all the Doctors, Nurses and Scientists who oppose their Tyranny?
I get no commonsensse replies from letters to our local Tory MP. He just throws back the Party Line in Every reply.
Think of it as having the 4th Reich taking over 192 Countries of the World, which is pretty much the case, as History is indeed Repeating itself. Did Hitler want to Listen?
I think we need a Lot More help than any of us can achieve alone. We ALL need to Come Together, to tackle this Beast I’m afraid.
Waking up as Many Sheep as possible must be our goal, before they Sacrifice their Souls from Fear and Ignorance of this Fraudulent COVID SCAMdemic.
If anyone needs help, it’s those who wake up after having the COVID Injection, although I think it’s too late to Save their Souls? But that’s not our decision.
Best of Luck eitherway. Every little helps 🙂
Love and best wishes to ALL.

I apologise for any text, spelling and grammar errors. It’s a small tablet with a mind of it’s own, at this time of night 🙂
Thanks.
