A Christian lecturer who was fired by a Methodist theological college for saying that homosexuality is ‘invading’ the church has had his case heard by an employment tribunal.

Dr Aaron Edwards claims he was unfairly dismissed by Cliff College, and the tribunal was told that a LGBT activist was involved in approving his dismissal.

Edwards’s legal team told the tribunal that he had an internal appeal against his dismissal considered by a supposedly ‘independent’ person.

It is tragic that the structure of the Methodist Church has been taken over in this way which is in such stark contrast to the foundations which John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, put in place.
