Three times CofE guidance has been used to discredit faithful Christians
by Chris Joyce, Christian Concern:
The Church of England’s controversial guidance, Valuing All God’s Children is supposed to protect children from bullying.
In reality, it damages them by its support for trans ideology.
But the guidance has another pernicious effect. The trans-affirming guidance has been used in legal proceedings to discredit three Christian Legal Centre clients – and likely many more faithful Christians we don’t know about.
1. Rev. Dr Bernard Randall
Rev. Dr Bernard Randall was dismissed from his role as school chaplain and reported to the government’s terrorist watchdog, Prevent, for a sermon he delivered at Trent College secondary school, which stated that pupils should be free to disagree with LGBT ideology.
With the support of the Christian Legal Centre, Bernard took Trent College to court for discrimination, harassment, victimisation, and unfair dismissal.
At the Employment Tribunal, earlier this year, the CofE’s Valuing All God’s Children guidance was used against Bernard to discredit his beliefs.
Further to this, the Church of England has branded Bernard as a safeguarding risk. The Diocesan Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Libby Lane, has also refused the ordained chaplain permission to officiate in church services.
The Church of England’s treatment of Randall is now the subject of separate legal action.
