Christian lecturer Aaron Edwards has said he will appeal an employment tribunal ruling which concluded it was ‘reasonable’ for a Bible college to sack him for misconduct for one tweet defending Christian sexual ethics.
The 39-year-old theologian and father of six had taken legal action against Cliff College in Derbyshire on the grounds of harassment, discrimination, and unfair dismissal.
The problems began in February 2023 when, after seven years at Cliff College, Edwards got hauled over the coals for a post he had published on social media platform X.
The post read, ‘Homosexuality is invading the Church. Evangelicals no longer see the severity of this b/c they’re busy apologising for their apparently barbaric homophobia, whether or not it’s true. This *is* a “Gospel issue”, by the way. If sin is no longer sin, we no longer need a Saviour.’
