The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) is today hearing the cases of four British Christians who say they have been discriminated against because of their faith.

They include a sex therapist who refused to treat a gay couple, two women who were told by their employers not to wear their crosses at work, and a registrar who wouldn't conduct civil partnerships.

They are being supported by Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali. Speaking to the Today programme on BBC Radio 4, he said he felt recent legislation has unfairly singled out Christians.
