Small brooches on the lapel of uniform: it is the latest concession by British Airways to its Catholic employee who left her work in Heathrow Airport, last month, because they prevented her from wearing a little chain with the Cross. It was a complete ‘change of direction’ which the British dailies ascribed to the persistent campaign carried out by Christian mass media and organizations. The airline company announced its intention to change its policy concerning uniforms, “with the aim of allowing religious symbols to be worn in an open way, however following the legislation and the brand of the company”. The announcement made by the general manager of the airline company, Willie Walsh, was issued twenty-four hours after the announcement by the archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, who had declared that the “Church of England” (of which he is the Primate) was taking into consideration the opportunity of suspending its investment of 10.25 million pounds (about 14 million euros and a half) in the shares of the company.
