Church of England School Reported Own Chaplain as Being a TERRORIST Then Fired Him for Anti-LGBTQ Beliefs
Rev. Dr. Bernard Randall is taking Trent College to court for discrimination, harassment, victimization and unfair dismissal
(CBN) A Christian chaplain in the United Kingdom who was fired for preaching a sermon on “identity politics” in a Church of England school three years ago, has taken legal action against his former employer. His case is being argued in front of an employment tribunal for the next several weeks.
Represented by the Christian Legal Centre, Rev. Dr. Bernard Randall is taking Trent College to court for discrimination, harassment, victimization and unfair dismissal after the school reported him – without his knowledge – to the government anti-terror watchdog for the 2018 sermon.
Randall, 49, from Derbyshire, was ordained by the Church of England in 2006. He had been employed by the school for four years until he was dismissed in 2019.
He told the East Midlands Employment Tribunal that the school had shown “absolutely no regard for the concern {he} had for those upset or confused by the implementation of Educate and Celebrate” – a charity that provides training “to embed gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation into the fabric” of their organizations.
According to The Daily Mail, Randall told the tribunal in a written statement, that it was clear that the charity’s stated objective was to promote LGBT+ inclusion in schools. However, he said E&C went beyond “a natural stance of inclusivity into the active promotion of ideas which he believed amounted to identity politics.”
He also claimed much of E&C’s program appeared to him to be “contrary to Christian teaching.”
