A Christian, Felix Ngole, has won a court action against Sheffield University which threw him off his social worker course because he had posted, on social media, the Church’s position on gay marriage. The dubious reasoning behind this draconian measure had been that he would not, as a social worker, be able to relate to gay people and handle their cases sympathetically.
That is, of course, patent nonsense.
The Church also teaches that any sex outside marriage is wrong. Does that mean that a Christian social worker would not be able to assist a single, pregnant woman? Would such a consideration even enter the minds of university course supervisors?
