If those at Nicea plotting the future of christianity has any real foresight they'd have invented a scripture stating that christians must wear a symbol of their faith. They didn't, so any such symbol worn is just jewlery rather than a religious requirement so therefore it is not discrimination to have a dress code banning jewlery.QUOTE]

good point ,with most religions i know they have compulsory items of clothing or jewelry but with the christian religion i can't think of anything that has to be worn to symbolise membership of that religion so is not included in any legislation
