HRP: Country Reports on Human Rights Practices
IRF: Annual Reports to Congress on International Religious Freedom
FREEDOM OF RELIGION
IRF 2000
Government policy provides for freedom of religion, and the Government
generally respects this right in practice. The 1998 Human Rights Act, which
is to enter into force in October 2000, incorporates the principle of religious
freedom into law. The Church of England and the Church of Scotland are
established churches.
BAHA'I COMMUNITY
IRF 1999-2001
The country has both active interfaith and ecumenical movements.... The
Interfaith Network was established in 1987 and links a wide range of religious
and educational organizations with an interest in interfaith relations,
including the national representative bodies of the Baha'i, Buddhist, Christian,
Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, and Zoroastrian communities.
