Legal Issues

Sabbatarians face opposition from mainstream churches who are often accused of legalism. However, the law often allows discrimination not accommodating the religious beliefs of Sabbatarians. The Bible Sabbath Association (UK) monitors and informs its members of current United Kingdom legislation.

If you are facing problems in the workplace we recommend that you contact The Seventh Day Adventist Public Affairs and Religious Liberty in the UK.
