The Christian Legal Centre (CLC), a company founded in December 2007,[1] has acted in a number of high-profile cases on behalf of evangelical Christians in the United Kingdom. Its sister organisation is Christian Concern.[2][3] Observers believe that the centre has adopted tactics from wealthy evangelical groups in the US, notably the Alliance Defense Fund, and raise questions about its funding.[4][5] It opposes homosexuality, same-sex marriage, pre-marital sex, and pornography.[6]
